BISMARCK — Federal charges have replaced state charges against a Colorado man who is accused of hav-ing a cache of guns, two pipe bombs and ammunition in his possession at a recre-ational vehicle park near Watford City in January.

Upon confront-ing Dustin Michael Swartz, 29, on Jan. 26, law officers reported finding a .223 caliber rifle, a .22 caliber rifle, a .40 caliber pistol, approximately 950 rounds of ammunition, a bullet-resistant vest, a combat knife, boot spikes and two pipe bombs, ac-cording to information in a state complaint and federal indictment.

Since then, state charges against the Denver man have been replaced by those from the U.S. District Court for North Dakota in Bismarck. Federal charges against Swartz, which were unsealed Thursday, included federal felony possession of firearms and ammunition as a convicted felon and posses-sion of an explosive device.

According to the charges, McKenzie County Sheriff's Department Deputy Michael Mees was dispatched to the Prairie View RV Park near Watford City for a report of a man threatening mainte-nance workers. The man, Swartz, allegedly was openly carrying multiple firearms and loaded magazines, as well as a combat knife, said the indictment.

The park manager told Mees that Swartz had been acting strangely all day and her two maintenance

WILLISTON — The state is investigating about 100 fil-ter socks that were improp-erly disposed of in Williston city limits, the Department of Mineral Resources said Thursday.

Scott Radig, director of the Division of Waste Man-agement, says the cleanup is scheduled to begin today.

The filter socks were found on trailers next to a business in Williston. A citizen reported the oilfield waste product—which consisted of new and old fil-ters—to authorities Monday, according to DMR spokes-woman Alison Ritter.

Green Diamond Environ-mental Services rents the lo-cation where the filter socks were found and agreed to cover the cost of cleanup.

Owner Lee Farris told Forum News Service the cleanup cost is more than $12,500.

“I didn’t realize there were any dirty filters that needed to be disposed of or I would have done it a long time ago,” Farris told Forum

News Service. “Nobody was trying to hide anything here.”

Ritter said it’s too early to comment on whether a fine will be warranted and an investigation is ongoing.

The North Dakota Depart-ment of Health also is inves-tigating. Field tests indicate the level of radioactivity of the filter socks is slightly above the background radio-activity level at the site.

“The readings at the site were pretty low, so the pub-lic’s not at risk,” Radig said.

Used filter socks are a waste product of oil and gas production and contain low levels of naturally occurring radioactive waste. Filter socks need to be transported out of state for disposal, per North Dakota rules.

New rules passed by the state last June require filter socks be stored in covered, leak-proof containers on well sites. Radig said the state believes the filter socks were there before the rule took effect, and said its the first incident of improper disposal since.

BISMARCK — North Dakota oil production dropped 3 percent in January to just shy of 1.2 million barrels per day, the Department of Mineral Resources said Thursday.

Low oil prices are prompting more opera-tors to delay bringing new oil wells online, Director Lynn Helms said, causing

monthly oil production to drop from last month’s record high.

The low prices also have led to a rapid decline in the number of drilling rigs operating in North Dakota, which was 111 on Thurs-day, the lowest since April 2010.

The rig count is expected to bottom out around 100, Helms said, about 20 lower than he predicted a month

ago. The state’s record was 218 rigs operating in May 2012.

Drilling contractors have cut at least 800 full-time jobs in North Dakota, Helms said, and will cut more as additional rigs be-come idle. Helms estimated the total jobs lost at 3,000 to 4,000.

“It’s becoming painful for them out there in the Oil Patch,” Helms said.

Crews completed 47 wells in January, according to the preliminary numbers, compared with 183 wells that were completed in December.

Helms estimates that the state needs to have 115

wells drilled and completed each month to maintain production of 1.2 million barrels per day.

While additional months of declining production are expected, Helms said he anticipates a surge in production in June.

The state now has an estimated 825 wells that are drilled but waiting for hydraulic fracturing crews. Those wells need to be completed within a year, and the deadline for 125 of those wells is at the end of June.

“We anticipate June to be a really big month in terms

WILISTON — It started out as a fundraiser for Relay For Life, but has become something much more.

The Emerald Ball was started four years ago by the Oilfield Wives and Girl-friends, a local nonprofit, looking for a way to to back their Relay For Life team.

Relay For Life is a chari-

table event put on by the American Cancer Society. At the event, teams from all different backgrounds —families, support groups and businesses — join together to raise funds for research and awareness to save lives from cancer. There is no set dollar amount, but each team is then encouraged to

employees had a hostile en-counter with him earlier in the day and noticed a strong odor of alcohol.

Two other witnesses re-ported seeing Swartz driving his truck at a high rate of speed, nearly causing an ac-

cident several times, said the complaint.

After taking the report, deputies and officers of the Watford City Police Department searched for Swartz, finding him in his vehicle parked behind two Dumpsters with multiple

items in plain view that are associated with survivalists, such as hiking packs, excess water, arrows in addition to weaponry, according to the complaint.

Swartz allegedly told of-ficers that "the end of the world is here" and warned them to be careful with, and not to smoke around, the two pipe bombs.

Swartz appeared Thursday before U.S. District Court Judge Daniel Hovland, where he pleaded not guilty and requested a public defender.

A trial has tentatively been set for May 12, and Swartz is scheduled to appear at a de-tention hearing on Monday. Hovland ordered Swartz to remain in custody until that time.

Robert HoughtJan. 27, 1925 - March 10, 2015

Hought

Robert “Bob” Hought, 90, of Bonetraill, Williams County, passed away peace-fully at home with his fam-ily after a lengthy illness, Tuesday morning, March 10, 2015, at his winter home in Mesa, Arizona.

His funeral will be celebrated Monday morn-ing, March 16, at 11 a.m. at Our Redeemer’s Lutheran Church in Williston. Rev. Morris Kirchhof will of-ficiate. Lunch will follow the funeral service at the church. Interment with a military burial, will be at the St. Petri Cemetery in Bonetraill, northwest of Williston. All are welcome to stop at the family farm after the burial.

Robert Lowell Hought, was born Jan. 27, 1925, in Hanks to Ivah (Moorhead) Hought and David Hought and was one of five chil-dren. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister, Arline, and two sons, Randy and William.

Robert married his wife, Lillie Almlie and shared 65 years with her on their farm in Bonetraill. They spent their winters in Mesa, Arizona for over 30 years. They are the parents of seven children. Vicki Pol-lard (Jim) of Palm Desert, California, Tom of Bermuda Dunes, California, Randy (deceased), Nancy Lebsock

of Williston and Mesa, Arizona , Kim Clymer (Jim) of Round Rock, Texas , Barry of Jamestown and Bill (de-ceased). He is the proud grandfa-ther of 13 grandchil-dren, Jami Pollard Rozak (Mike), Matthew Pollard (Danya) and Jona-than Pollard, Ryan Hought and Chase Hought, Casey Lebsock (deceased) Josh Lebsock, Zack Lebsock (Karina), Taylor Lebsock, Jordan Risher, Harrison Hought, Heather Hought and Justin Muchler and 3 great-grandchildren Jack-son and Emmy Pearl Pollard and Joey Rozak.

He is survived by his siblings, Duane Hought of Williston, Jackie Andre of Williston and Swany Schmidt of Watford City and Mesa, Arizona.

Robert attended NDSU in Fargo where he met Lillie after serving in the Army as an Honor Guard for General McArthur in the U.S. Oc-cupation of Japan.

He will be remembered as a man who loved wearing a

cowboy hat and boots, rid-ing horse and chasing cattle. Flying his plane to check the farm and land, telling corny jokes, golfing and fishing. Taking family trips with a car full of rowdy kids, watching his kids play sports and following sports on T.V.

He enjoyed nothing more than riding around in his pickup reminiscing as he knew the lay of the land having lived in the area his entire life. He could tell you who lived on each farm and had a terrific memory for history to his very end. He loved seeing all his grand-children and would light up each time his great-grand-children sat on his lap.

Bob will be forever missed as a husband, dad, grand-father, brother, uncle and friend. The family is grate-ful for his faith and belief that he would be in heaven with his family.

Friends may visit www.eversoncoughlin.com to share remembrances of Bob or leave condolences with his family. Friends may also call at the Everson-Coughlin Funeral Home of Williston on Sunday from 11 to p.m., and at the church on Mon-day for the hour preceding the service.

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

of completions and pro-duction increases,” Helms said.

A tax incentive referred to as the “large trigger” could take effect in June, also contributing to an increase in production that month.

If the West Texas In-termediate oil price is less than $55.09 for five consecutive months, the large trigger kicks in and provides an exemption from the oil extraction tax for the first 24 months of production.

Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger said Thursday that about 70 percent of the state’s oil production is from wells less than 24 months old.

“It has quite a large fiscal impact,” Rauschenberger said.

A new state revenue fore-cast that is expected next week assumes the large trigger will kick in this

June and stay in effect at least part of next bienni-um, Rauschenberger said.

The revised forecast also will take into consid-eration lower sales tax, income tax and corporate income tax revenue associ-ated with fewer wells being drilled.

While a month ear-lier Helms said he didn’t think the state would hit the large trigger, he said Thursday he has since changed his attitude based on crude oil inventories nationwide that will have an impact on WTI prices.

The percent of natural gas flared in North Dakota decreased to 22 percent in January. Companies beat the January target set by the North Dakota Indus-trial Commission by 1 percent.

Flaring on the Fort Ber-thold Indian Reservation was lower than the rest of the state for the first time ever, Helms said.

Flaring on trust lands

within the reservation, which historically had been greater than the state’s average, was 20 percent.

The improvement largely resulted from companies adding more natural gas compressor stations last year, Helms said.

Some companies had to voluntarily curtail oil pro-duction in order to meet gas capture targets, an amount Helms estimated to be 12,000 to 15,000 barrels per day.

Also Thursday, the Da-kota Resource Council and the Dacotah Chapter of the Sierra Club called on state legislators to do more to reduce natural gas flaring.

The organizations cited a recent poll conducted by the Social Science Re-search Institute at the Uni-versity of North Dakota that found that 65 percent of respondents said min-eral owners should be paid royalties for natural gas that is flared.

to have a fundraising event. The Emerald Ball was a

small idea at first, but has turned into a grand occa-sion for the Oilfield Wives. The event started out with about 75 attendees the first year and has gradually increased each year.

This year's event will be at the Williston Recre-ation Center, from 7 p.m. to midnight. Tickets are on sale now to the public, age 21 and older, at Williston Curves, C Cup Express, Love is in the Hair and Bride to Be. There will also be a few tickets left at the door, available for purchase the night of the event. For more details email OFWWil-liston@gmail.com.

"We set a goal of 200 a year," Heidi McCormick said. She is a committee member. The group has a committee of five and between 20 and 30 mem-bers. The ladies split into

three committees, to divide the responsibilities for the Emerald Ball, and spend hundreds of hours on the event to make it a special occasion.

Last year, they donated $6,325 and this year hope to be on track to donate as much or more. They were able to offset floral costs of this year's ball by donating their time to deliver flowers for Shepherd’s Garden during their Valen-tine's Day rush.

This year's Emerald Ball will host more than 100 members of the commu-nity dressed in their finest formal wear. Behind all the glitz and the glam, however, remains a very serious cause — the fight against cancer, a disease that has affected many of the Oil-field Wives and Girlfriends personally.

McCormick lost her grandmother when she was in junior high to the disease.

"It was really hard for

me," she said. "My aunt had it twice and survived. On my husband's side his fa-ther passed away at a young age, just a year after we were married. There have been other family members who have battled cancer as well. Most of them have fought it and won, but not all of them."

McCormick is not the only one in the group with such a story to tell. Most of the members have been affected in some way by the disease, which strikes 1,665,540 people each year, according to the American Cancer Society.

The Emerald Ball is a great event for a great cause, McCormick said, but it only happens with the generous donations of cash, silent auction items, as well as advertising from com-munity businesses, with 100 percent of proceeds donated to Relay For Life.

KILLDEER — A change to a planned multi-use develop-ment shows the changing housing market in this Oil Patch town of 751 people in the last census and count-ing.

The Killdeer 110 develop-ment, named for its acreage with plans to break ground this summer, includes various types of housing and commercial space in the town straight north of Dickinson.

The big change, however, is the development’s first phase will now include townhomes instead of the original plans for modular and mobile homes.

"We don't want any mobile homes, that's a dead duck," said Scott Kusy, the Scotts-dale, Ariz.-based developer on the project.

Kusy told planning and zoning board members that delays to the project allowed developers to see the chang-ing market.

Unlike two years ago, when developers were rushing to provide roofs over heads -- no matter how temporary or flimsy -- towns and cities now need more permanent housing to at-tract families.

"People want better hous-ing ... more permanence," Kusy said after the meeting, where the board approved the change in plans.

The delays were a "happy accident" since they al-lowed the project planners to see the changing housing market, said Ken Puncerelli, CEO of LAI Design Group, which designed the project.

Later phases of the proj-ect, anticipated to take two to four years, will include

at least 100 single-family homes. Up to 10 percent of the development's housing can be set up to be subsi-dized for Killdeer public employees such as teachers and police, Kusy said.

Planning and zoning board member Lewis Hill said the town needs more single family homes, as he knows some of his 120 em-ployees at his Killdeer-based oil field services consulting business -- Fort Berthold Services -- are ready to buy homes for their families, but can't find any.

"They're not looking for multifamily (housing)," he said. "They're looking for something to buy."

The Killdeer City Coun-cil will take up the zoning change at its meeting Mon-day, and Kusy said he hopes to start construction this summer.

OIl patch housing market changing

BY ELLEN KNICKMEYERASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Lax oversight by the state has allowed the oil and gas industry to con-taminate protected water aquifers and endanger the public, California regula-tors acknowledged Tuesday while pledging to intensify supervision.

When it comes to a bal-ance between supporting the oil and gas industry in California — the country's No. 3 oil-producing state — and protecting public re-sources and public safety, "I would suggest that ... there has not been the proper balance between these two mandates" for state oil and gas regulators, John Laird, the state secretary of natural resources, told state senators in a scathing sen-ate hearing. "And this is our chance to get it right."

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, mean-while, set strict new dead-lines for California to start dealing with more than 2,000 oil-and-gas industry injection wells that state regulators had allowed to inject into underground water reserves that are federally protected as current or potential sourc-es of water for drinking and irrigation. In an EPA letter made public Tuesday, federal regulators also joined some state lawmakers in challeng-ing state plans to continue is-suing new permits for oilfield injection in certain protected water aquifers.

Members of state Senate committees on environ-mental quality and natural resources convened after critical state and federal reviews, and after news reports by The Associated Press and others, address-ing what state records show as decades of loose enforcement and record-keeping gaffes that allowed some oilfield operations to threaten underground drinking-water reserves. An Associated Press review of state records found more than one-third of the state permits granted in apparent violation of the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act were awarded since 2011.

The state's oil and gas divi-sion had become "a flawed agency in many, many ways in terms of protecting the groundwater as it should be. The balance really has gone out of whack," Democratic San Francisco Bay-area Sen. Lois Wolk said.

Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, agreed. "None of this really came to light until there were exposes in the media," Jackson told state water and oil-and-gas regulators. California had a "serious imbalance between the role of the oiland gas industry and the role of protecting the public. This is an endemic problem."

In a statement, state Sen. Fran Pavley, D-Agoura Hills and chairwoman of the senate's natural resources committee, said California's oil-and-gas regulators "con-tinue to ignore the law and regulations. Here we are in the fourth year of a serious drought, and the actions of the oil and gas regulator are

threatening the state's pre-cious groundwater supply."

Between last summer and this month, as a feder-ally-mandated state review helped detail the scope of the problems with state oilfield regulation, the state shut down 23 oil-industry injection wells that it found state regulators had permit-ted to dump oil-industry wastewater into federally protected water aquifers.

Such improper injection had contaminated the af-fected federally protected drinking water aquifers, Jonathan Bishop, chief deputy director of the state Water Resources Control Board, told the lawmakers.

Testing so far has found no sign of the contaminated water reaching nearby wa-ter wells, regulators said.

Lawmakers also grilled state regulators on one in-tensive form of oil produc-tion in the state: injection of steam at high pressure to force oil from underground rock formations.

State regulators have acknowledged routinely al-lowing oil and gas producers to inject steam underground at pressure high enough to crack open underground rock formations, in viola-tion of state and federal regulations, according to a state Senate report prepared for Tuesday's hearing.

BISMARCK (AP) — Feder-al health officials say 18,171 North Dakota residents selected health insurance plans during the second enrollment period under a provision of the Affordable Care Act.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced the new enroll-

ment numbers Tuesday. The figures are through Feb. 22.

Officials had estimated that up to 21,313 North Dakota residents were eli-gible to select health plans through the federal market-place healthcare.gov.

The federal report shows that 86 percent of those who selected plans qualified for

a tax credit, and the credits averaged $228 per month.

The U.S. Supreme Court is considering a challenge to the subsidies in North Da-kota and other states where residents depend on the federal marketplace, rather than state-established web-sites. The court's decision is expected in late June.

Today in History

WICKCOMMUNICATIONS

Roberts Rules

Steve and Cokie Roberts

Today is Friday, March 6, the 65th day of 2015. There are 300 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On March 6, 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Dred Scott v. Sandford that Scott, a slave, was not an Ameri-can citizen and could not sue for his freedom in federal court.

On this date:

In 1836, the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, fell to Mexican forces after a 13-day siege.

In 1933, a national bank holiday declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt aimed at calm-ing panicked depositors went into effect. Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, wounded in an attempt on Roosevelt’s life the previous month, died at a Miami hospital at age 59.

In 1935, retired Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., died in Washington two days before his 94th birthday.

In 1944, U.S. heavy bombers staged the first full-scale American raid on Berlin during World War II.

In 1983, in a case that drew much notoriety, a woman was gang-raped atop a pool table in a tavern in New Bedford, Massachusetts, called Big Dan’s; four men were later convicted of the attack.

In 1995, “The Jenny Jones Show” taped an epi-sode on same-sex crushes during which Jonathan Schmitz learned his secret admirer was an acquaintance, Scott Ame-dure; three days later, Schmitz fatally shot.

It’s all a clever trap, Senator Heitkamp

Dakota Moments

Dear Senator Heidi:As you now, I never meddle in your political plans. How-

ever, I have always felt responsible for the well-being of my former students from Minnesota House Speaker Kurt Zellers to the Pomeroy boys to the Heitkamps.

The time has come, however, to warn you about the clever trap that is being set back here in North Dakota. They’re trying to lure you into a narrow political canyon where they can dry gulch you in the 2016 election. They want you to run for governor.

That insightful political observer Mike Jacobs, retired editor of the Grand Forks Herald, noted recently that U. S. Senators seldom run for governor. It’s always the other way around. For you to run for gover-nor would be going down the up staircase.

To keep this whole discussion nonparti-san, we will just identify “they” as Party No.1. There is no denying that Party No. 1 would like to have your Senate seat. In fact, it looks like they would even trade the governorship for it.

The tipoff is the bill in the present session of the Legislature that would require spe-cial elections to fill Senate vacancies. They are worried that when you get elected governor you can appoint your successor under present law.

Now please note that they are conceding the gubernato-rial election to you. This is just more cheese in the trap.

While the proposed legislation is the giveaway, there is the recent Gallup Well-Being survey reporting that North Dakota folks have become very unhappy in the last couple of years. In 2013, we were the happiest folks on earth. In 2015, we plummeted to 23rd in the country.

Ordinarily, Gallup people are as right as any polling or-ganization can get but I am suspicious of such a significant decline in so short a time. Cultures don’t change that fast.

I can believe that folks in Hawaii are the most happy but South Dakota tied for second? Give me a break.

Among Gallup’s criteria was “having supportive relation-ships and love in your life.” Our most populous nationali-ties, Scandinavian and German, didn’t verbalize affection. My folks never said they loved me but they made lefse, lutefisk and gammelost and that said it to me.

Another bit of Gallup criteria was “managing economic life to reduce stress.” Hey! This is a farm state and I never saw the day that farmers didn’t complain about something. Farming is a stressful business. They’re already stewing about the lack of moisture for spring planting.

Gallup polled around 800 people in North Dakota, most of who vote for Party No. 1. I think they were coached to tell Gallup how unhappy they were so you would think people were ready for a change and would vote for candidates in Party No. 3, especially for governor. (Right now, there is no Party No. 2 in North Dakota.)

Then there is another Gallup survey indicating that North Dakota is moving from conservative to moderate. At one time we were in the top five conservative states and now we dropped to 13. That’s suspicious.

Asking people to classify themselves politically is like asking people about religion. Most will claim to be believing Christians when they are actually practicing secularists. It’s a kind of socially-acceptable atheism.

We may claim moderate but Party No. 1 has all of the elected state officials and two-thirds of both houses of the Legislature. That’s not moderate – that’s excessive. We’re Sanforized deep red conservative.

It all adds up, Senator. And just because one is paranoid doesn’t mean somebody isn’t out to get one.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The Chinese are coming! And they’re bringing their golf clubs.

Chinese investment in America reached $12 bil-lion last year, according to the Rhodium Group, an economic advisory firm. “Absent political head-winds,” predicts Rhodium, “outbound investment by Chinese firms will contin-ue to boom in 2015 and the United States will remain a key market.”

Traditionally, much of that investment has focused on big cities like New York, or West Coast areas with large Chinese populations. But increas-ingly, Chinese investors are looking at new areas like Myrtle Beach, and one word helps explain that appeal.

Golf.Chinese investors have

paid about $47 million for 13 golf courses here in the last 20 months, accord-ing to a report in Myrtle Beach’s Sun News. Ed Jerdon, a partner in three of the courses that sold re-cently, said: “The Chinese, they came with cash ... and they continue to buy.”

That’s good news for the local economy, which de-pends heavily on tourism but suffers from over-build-ing and lack of capital to shore up struggling real estate ventures.

“I’m glad they’re in the market,” said John Draughn, who has helped broker sales to Chinese buyers, “because if they weren’t, I don’t know who would be buying this stuff.”

The potential impact of this trend goes far be-yond refurbished courses and rescued jobs. Many Chinese investors want to establish footholds for their families in America, and have also bought at least 100 private homes in the area.

These investors “want their children to study in the United States,” Jo-hanna Keamy-Tavares, an attorney specializing in business immigration law, told the Sun News. “Many

foreign nationals want a bet-ter life for their kids.”

A recent Barclays survey of China’s wealthiest families found that almost half want to move abroad. Accord-ing to the Wall Street Journal, 78 percent cite “better educational and employment opportunities for children” as their main reason for emigrating.

As part of their strategy, some of these affluent Chinese are applying for EB-5 visas, an immigra-tion category that enables foreigners to establish legal residency in the U.S. if they invest $1 million in a project that creates or saves 10 jobs. The mini-mum investment drops to $500,000 in areas of high unemployment.

The investor can also ob-tain visas for a spouse and unmarried children under 21. Those visas can eventu-ally be converted into per-manent resident permits, or green cards, and even citizenship papers.

This program, started in 1990, languished for many years, producing little in the way of foreign invest-ment. But in the fiscal year ending last September, all 10,000 available visas were avidly scooped up -- and 85 percent of them went to Chinese entrepreneurs.

Chinese interest in this area is no accident. Myrtle Beach Mayor John Rhodes has made five trips to that country promoting his city, and local business owners have financed digital bill-boards and videos aimed at luring Chinese money and tourists.

The Sun News report was illustrated with photos of Chinese golfers taking les-sons from local pros. One player wore a teal blue golf

shirt with the word “CHI-NA” lettered in red across his back.

Yes, a few well-publicized scams have tainted the EB-5 program. But as Myr-tle Beach demonstrates, on balance the effort has created sizeable economic benefits.

“The one negative side to EB-5 is (that) people think China is buying up America, but the good thing is, these jobs would go away (otherwise),” Tom Morrison, a local business executive and EB-5 propo-nent, told the Sun News. “It helps job growth and economic growth.”

In fact, the program’s vast success is now threat-ening to undermine its value. The crunch of Chi-nese applicants is clogging the pipeline. As a result, the State Department an-nounced, Chinese investors will face a growing backlog in the application process. Already, rival countries like Australia are bidding to attract wealthy Chinese who don’t want to wait for their visas.

Rep. Bob Goodlatte, a Vir-ginia Republican who plays a key role on immigration issues, told a conference on the EB-5 program last year that deleterious delays were unacceptable and he would push legislation to expand and streamline the visa process.

“This is a tremendous boon to our economy,” Goodlatte said.

But reform efforts keep getting entangled in the larger and increasingly acrimonious debate over illegal immigration. Meanwhile, the U.S. could lose investors who want to build lives and businesses here.

This is nuts -- a clear case of economic self-destruction. The Chinese are eager to come, bringing their cash, their kids and their clubs. We should be making it easier for them, not harder.

Chinese cash and American jobs

The Bismarck Tribune has consistently opposed efforts to weaken the state's open meetings and records laws. Senate Bill 2134 would allow the hiring and firing of the North Dakota chancellor be done in executive session. This process has been open in the past and worked. The measure also would allow the state Board of Higher Edu-cation to conduct evaluations of university presidents and the chancellor in closed session.

These efforts to exclude North Dakotans from the pub-lic's business should be rejected. If there are issues with a university president or the chancellor they should be aired in a manner where the public can make their own judgments. The university personnel are employees of the public and should answer to them through open meet-ings of the board.

Things got messy at the end of Chancellor Hamid Shirvani's tenure when some of his reviews of presi-dents became public before a board meeting was held. Before the board could discuss the evaluations in public, weighing the pros and cons of the reviews, the public was hearing about the documents without any context. The hiring and firing of chancellors and evaluations of the presidents should be done in public. Closing them just increases the temptation to leak the documents.

During Senate hearings it was argued that the bill isn't intended to protect university presidents but to encour-age a frank discussion during evaluations. Why shouldn't the public know if there are areas that need improve-ment? Must the doors be closed to have an honest discus-sion?

Jack McDonald, an attorney for the North Dakota Newspaper Association, noted the open meeting process has been working and urged the committee not to change it.

The Senate passed SB2134 and the final decision rests with the House.

The Board of Higher Education has a lousy record when it comes to open meetings with numerous viola-tions over the last few years. When people can't obey the law do we change it? The best way for the board to re-build its reputation is to conduct its business in the open. The public can regain its faith in the board by observing them conducting their business in an open, orderly man-ner.

Keeping the law as is will best serve the public and the North Dakota Board of Higher Education.

The history behind the ResurrectionIn preparation for Easter

Sunday, I thought I’d go into the Resurrection of Christ since that is what Easter is all about. This will be a three part series. The first part will cover what methods scholars use in determining what is historical fact, and how to determine what hypothesis fits best. Next week I will go into the data surrounding the first Easter morning and give reasons for each of them. Then lastly, I will go into why the Resurrection hypothesis best fits the data we have.

The goal this week is to establish the criteria used to determine the authentic-ity of a specific historical claim. New Testament scholars can use these same criteria when digging for nuggets of truth in the gospels. This is an unbiased process and many scholars from all sorts of back-grounds, atheist, agnostic and Christian alike come to the same conclusions.

Understanding these criteria properly is very im-portant because they can be easily misunderstood. Not all facts must be determined by all these criteria, but that if a statement is supported by one or more of these

criteria then the prob-ability of it being true is increased.

I will list the some of the criteria, then explain why it’s important. These signs are: His-torical fit; Independent, early sources; embarrassment, dissimilari-ty; semitisms; and coherence.

For historical fit, the event should fit and not conflict with other known histori-cal facts of the immediate context of time and place.

If the event has indepen-dent, early sources increas-es the probability. These independent sources must to rely on another source, and doesn’t have the appear-ance of having borrowed from a different source. The source must also be early to the event described.

The criteria of embarrass-ment means that the source or event described is either awkward or counterproduc-tive for the source. In the case of the gospels, is the incident embarrassing for the early Christian church?

For the criteria of dissimi-

larity, it must be determined if the incident is not like, not embarrassing, but not contain a Jewish or Chris-tian presupposition or idea.

Semitisms are traces of Hebrew or Aramaic lan-guage within the text, since that is the context in which the gospels are written.

The last of the important criteria is if the incident coheres with facts already established about Jesus and do not contradict them.

Some things must stand out about this list. The first thing is that these can only help support an event de-scribed, and cannot be used to disprove it. Another point worth mentioning is that using these criteria does not presuppose the reliability of the gospel accounts. These criteria can be used for any document, even the Qur’an or the apocryphal gospels.

This lays the groundwork in which we can decipher key events and facts sur-rounding the first Easter morning. Next week I will go into the incidents that a majority of liberal and conservative scholars accept as fact.

NEW YORK (AP) — Cardi-nal Edward Egan was God's servant and worked tire-lessly for parishes, charities, health care and education, Cardinal Timothy Dolan said Tuesday at a funeral Mass for one of the most powerful prelates in the glob-al Roman Catholic Church.

Dolan told the 2,500 people packing St. Patrick's Cathe-

dral that Egan "was un-comfortable with eulogies" — but went on to praise him nonetheless. He said New Yorkers from fellow clergy members to "God's good people" could tell of "consolation given on and after 9/11, prayers offered, sick visited, prisoners en-couraged, children taught, immigrants welcomed and parishes strengthened."

"Now this church thanks

God for him," said Dolan, archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.

Egan, a Vatican theologi-cal force, led the New York archdiocese for almost a de-cade, including on Sept. 11, 2001, when hijacked planes decimated the World Trade Center and more than 2,700 people died. In the weeks that followed, he performed many funerals.

New York church thanks God for Cardinal Egan

BY NICOLE WINFIELDASSOCIATED PRESS

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis marks his second anniversary Friday riding a wave of popularity that has reinvigorated the Catholic Church in ways not seen since the days of St. John Paul II. He's also enter-ing a challenging third year, facing dissent from within on everything from financial reform to family issues.

Is the honeymoon over?According to the Pew Re-

search Center, not by a long shot, at least as far as ordi-nary faithful are concerned: Nine out of 10 U.S. Catholics have a favorable view of Francis, including six in 10 who have a "very favorable" view. Those are rankings not seen since John Paul's rock star days. And they trump the favorability rat-ings for Pope Benedict XVI even among more orthodox, church-going Catholics.

"Two years after his elec-tion, Francis has made the

face of the papacy irrevers-ible," Italian Vatican analyst Marco Politi wrote recently. "Returning to a doctrinaire, absolute monarch, icon-pope will never be possible, without a dramatic loss in contact with contemporary society, believers and nonbe-lievers alike."

Yet opposition abounds, most vocally among com-mentators but also some cardinals and bishops: Traditionalist Catholics have been joined by more mainstream conservatives who cringe at his mercy-over-morals priorities and apparent willingness to en-tertain pastoral approaches that might not follow Rome's rulebook.

And two years on, he's still an impossible-to-label pontiff, a social justice-minded Jesuit who firmly upholds church doctrine on abortion, but willingly counsels transgen-der couples. He calls himself a faithful son of the church but dismisses theologians as obstacles to evangelization.

THE OPPOSITIONTraditional Catholics at-

tached to the old Latin Mass have been wary of Francis ever since he emerged from the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica March 13, 2013 without the formal red cape his predecessors wore.

They have been joined in opposition by conservative prelates intent on prevent-ing any change in church practice regarding whether divorced and civilly remar-ried Catholics can receive Communion. They have been emboldened by the confusion that reigned during a meeting on family issues that Francis called last year, during which gays, civil unions and a host of hot-button issues were up for debate.

Cardinal Raymond Burke, removed by Francis as the Vatican's chief justice, has become their figurehead, saying hypothetically that he would "resist" the pope if he were to try to change church doctrine.

Popularity and dissent at 2-year mark

Riccardo De Luca/Associated Press

Pope Francis recites the Angelus noon prayer from his studio window overlooking St. Peter's Square at the Vatican.

Dear Annie: I love your column, but disagree with the advice you gave to “Frus-trated Husband,” whose wife visits with her irritating ex-college roommate. You suggested he visit family and friends elsewhere in order to avoid the woman.

The husband’s feelings should take priority over the ex-roommate. -- J.J.

Dear J.J.: This type of reac-tion happens often enough that we think your letter is a good time to address it: Read-ers expect us to somehow is-sue commands to a third party who hasn’t asked for any help. The husband wrote, not the wife. She has no problem with her ex-roommate. While we agree that it is unfair to the husband to make the adjust-ment, advising him to pres-sure his wife into going else-where might cause a different, more serious problem. If they can talk it out and reach a compromise, that would obviously be best. Otherwise, instead of stewing over it, he might use the time to take his own little vacation.

Dear Annie: About four years ago, you printed a wonderful letter from Nor-bert Tackman. I put it on my fridge because my husband had died the year before. It gives me strength when I think of him. Would you re-print it? -- Memphis, Tenn.

Dear Memphis: With plea-sure. Here it is:

Dear Annie: My wife died 11 years ago, after 49 wonder-

ful years together. I am now 81, and many of my friends are losing their spouses. Recently, a friend’s hus-band died, and I felt the need to help her. So I wrote the fol-lowing letter. If you think

it might help others, please print it. -- Norbert Tackman

A Time To GrieveWhat could have been is

gone. What was is still in your memories. You’ll always think there must have been more you could have done, more times you could have said “I love you.” Times you think, “Why didn’t I hold him more? Why didn’t I do this or that?” You did all those things. You just need to re-member them.

Remember the times when you held hands as you walked, when you held one another and kissed, when you shared a sunset or a walk through a garden. Remember that great vacation you had together. Remember when you made love and shared that special time. Remember how your love never dimmed but got stronger over the years.

Remember when you first met and fell in love. Then go through your life remember-ing the special moments,

one after another. When you had children. When you laughed or cried. That trip to get away. Visiting friends. A party. Going to church. When you redecorated the house. Little things only you and he shared.

Push out of your mind the memories that make you sad, and replace them immediately with good memories. Some-thing that makes you smile.

In the weeks after his pass-ing, the relatives go on with their lives, your friends don’t call as often, and you’re left alone. This is the time to be more involved with your favorite organizations, your church, your friends. In other words, keep busy. Be with other people. Push yourself to do things, no matter how small. Don’t feel sorry for yourself -- you have much to offer to others, and your fel-lowship will give back twice as much to you.

There is nothing wrong with crying. It’s part of the loss. It’s part of the grief. Ac-cept the aching need to have him back, the need to hold him and tell him you love him. But always remember to say, “What a good life we had.”

He knew you loved him and cared about him. Just as you know he loved you and cared about you. Remember, he is watching over you. He doesn’t want you to suffer. He wants you to be happy for all the time you had together. God bless you.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Take a moment to catch your breath. Someone too lazy to deal with small but im-portant details will take ad-vantage of your capabilities. Protect your interests.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Attending a seminar or surfing the Internet will give you a sense of what you want to do and how to reach your goals. It’s up to you to follow through.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t be fooled by the hype someone is pushing about an investment. Use your com-mon sense and protect your interests rather than give someone else the right to play

with your money. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

-- You will need certain ques-tions answered in order to trust a situation or person. Don’t jump to conclusions or make decisions until you have all the facts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Focus on your accomplish-ments, not your failures. Put all your effort into whatever job you are given if you want to impress onlookers. End your day with a celebration or special treat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Do the things you enjoy most.

Let your creativity flourish. You will have the competitive edge if you put your best foot forward and display your at-tributes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Avoid turmoil by getting out and doing something in-dependently. Take in a show or go shopping for something that will add to your comfort or appearance, but don’t over-spend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Socializing with a wide vari-ety of people will help you get what you want. The more you mingle, the more support you

will get. A positive suggestion will lead to a surprising turn of events.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Work hard, even if you don’t feel like taking care of the jobs that have piled up. Once you clear the mess, you’ll be able to start something that you want to pursue.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Begin again by focusing on what’s important to you. Don’t let anyone talk you out of what you know will bring the best results. Take ownership of your cir-cumstances and do your own thing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Uncertainty regarding your motives will develop in your allies if you are evasive. If you are up-front, you will get the support you need to pursue your dream. If you don’t ask, you won’t get any-thing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A sudden change will be a wel-come surprise. Put your ideas into motion and help those who are having trouble getting started. Satisfaction, along with friendship, will result.

Abraham Maslow, a psy-chologist who died in 1970, said, “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.”

Try to nail today’s prob-lems. First, look only at the North hand. What should North respond after partner opens one spade?

After you have decided, also look at the South hand. West leads the heart queen against six spades. How should South plan the play?

The North hand is perfect for a four-club splinter bid. This shows at least four-card spade support and game-going values with a singleton (or void) in clubs. Without this agreement, North should make the partnership’s game-forcing raise; two no-trump is popular today.

The splinter bid would sur-prise South, since he also has a singleton club, but he would probably recover sufficiently to use some form of Black-wood before settling into six spades.

After West leads the heart queen, South has two possible losers (one heart and one dia-mond) and only 11 guaranteed tricks (six spades, two hearts, two diamonds and one club). Declarer must score a third diamond trick -- how?

The right technique is to lead twice toward the hand with the two honors. So, South takes the first trick, draws trumps ending in the dummy, and plays a diamond to his king. After that wins, he returns to dummy with a trump and leads another low diamond. When the ace pops up, declarer’s 12th trick has been established.

What if West could cap-ture the diamond king with the ace? Then South would need diamonds 3-3 (or a very unlikely heart-diamond squeeze).

Hughes struggles as Twins beat Marlins

B1

All-Pro DeMarco Murray to join Eagles

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Phil Hughes failed to last two innings for the second time in as many spring outings, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Miami Marlins 7-6 Tues-day.

Hughes, who issued just 16 walks all last season, has walked one each time out this spring. He had a four-pitch walk to light-hitting Don Kelly of the Marlins.

“I was just fuming,” Hughes said. “I was prob-ably going to get thrown out of the game if it wasn’t spring training. I don’t remember ever being that mad in a spring training game.”

Hughes, set to start on opening day, struck out the side in the first. He had trouble commanding his signature cut fastball and needed 31 pitches to get two outs in the second, giv-ing up a three-run homer to Jeff Mathis.

DALLS (AP) — DeMarco Murray got the money he wanted from his former team’s biggest rival.

Two people familiar with the deal said All-Pro running back DeMarco Murray agreed Thursday to a five-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Both sources spoke to The Associated Press on condi-tion of anonymity because Murray hadn’t officially signed the contract.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Wearing a gray suit, white shirt and black tie, Murray arrived at team headquarters with his fiancee, Heidi Mueller, on Thursday afternoon.

Less than two hours later, the Eagles confirmed they had reached agree-ment on a three-year contract with former San Diego running back Ryan Mathews.

Murray helped the Cow-boys win the NFC East title last season while rushing for a franchise-record 1,845 yards. He broke the Dallas record held by NFL career rushing leader Emmitt Smith and also set a league mark with eight straight 100-yard games to start the season.

Vikings finalize contract with backup quarterback Shaun Hill

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Thirteen years after he started his NFL career in Minnesota as an undrafted rookie, Shaun Hill has returned to the Vikings as a veteran mentor.

The Vikings finalized a two-year contract Wednes-day with Hill, securing their backup for Teddy Bridgewa-ter and bringing the veteran to his original team.

The Vikings also re-signed defensive tackle Tom Johnson and an-nounced agreements on new deals with two of their other unrestricted free agents, offensive lineman Joe Berger and long snap-per Cullen Loeffler.

Hill’s contract is worth as much as $6.5 million, in-cluding $3.2 million guar-anteed this season. His hit to the salary cap is $1.5 million less than Matt Cas-sel’s, and the Vikings net-ted an extra third-day draft pick for him in their trade with Buffalo. Undrafted out of Maryland in 2002, Hill was a third-stringer for the Vikings until going to San Francisco in 2006.

Parshall wins Region 8 title with 63-53 win over New Town

BY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — The Par-shall Braves are headed back to the Class B boys basket-ball state tourna-ment for the first time since 2007.

The Braves out-scored New Town 40-21 in the second half of Thursday night’s Class B Re-gion 8 tournament title game en route to a 63-53 win at Wil-liston State College.

“It’s something we didn’t expect,” said Parshall coach Wade Baker. “We had a tough road and they hit a stride.”

In the first half, New Town, behind the play of Payton White Owl, appeared to have Par-shall on the ropes.

The Eagles built a 32-23 lead at intermission. White Owl had 19 points in the opening half, including five 3-pointers. In the second half, the Braves took over.

Parshall used a 22-8 edge in the third period, including a 3-pointer by Jelani Foote at the buzzer, to take a 45-40 lead into the final period.

“Our guys have been play-ing real good ball,” Baker said.

In the final period, the Braves scored 10 of the final

12 points to ice the win.Baker says the win is a col-

lective team effort.“It’s been teamwork,” he

said. “When you play New Town, you’ve got to be up because they like to play physical.”

Deyondre Simpson scored 27 points to pace Parshall, while Jelani Foote added 15. Par-shall point guard Justin Roberts struggled from the floor, finish-ing 1-of-15 from the floor.

Baker points to three keys to his team’s suc-cess late in the season.

“Teamwork , good attitude and play together,” he said.

Darryl Grady finished with 18 points and 14 re-bounds for New Town, while White Owl finished with 19.

Stanley’s Kory Anderson was named Region 8 Coach of the Year, while Darryl Grady was named Senior Athlete of the Year.

Watford City held a 52-47 lead late in the contest. Kenmare got consecutive baskets by Hunter Harris and Konner Keysor to cut the deficit to 52-51.

Fargo Shanley rolls past Bismarck at Class A state

FARGO (AP) — Fargo Shanley standout Sarah Ja-cobson scored a game-high 17 points to lead the Deacons to a 52-23 rout of Bismarck in a North Dakota Class A girls basketball quarterfinal on Thursday.

Jacobson shot 3-for-4 from the free-throw line for 11 points in the first half, and a strong defense by the Dea-cons (25-0) held the Demons (15-9) to just six points in the first half. Alivia Fraase finished the game with a game-high 10 rebounds, six points and four steals and Lauren Rotunda was second in scoring for Shanley with 10 points.

The Demons’ top perfor-mances came from Allison Fisher, Cara Haussler and Jaycee Walter. Haussler and Walter each scored two points in the first half and finished with six points and two points, respectively, and Fisher came alive in the sec-ond half to score six points and collect two rebounds.

TURTLE MOUNTAIN 57FARGO DAVIES 54

FARGO (AP) — Turtle Mountains’ Syann Golus scored a team-high 16 points to help the Bravettes ad-vance to the North Da-kota Class A girls basketball semifinals for the first time since 1989 with a 57-54 win over Fargo Davies on Thurs-day.

Ashley Davis posted 12 points and led the Bravettes (17-8) in rebounds with eight. Faith Dionne had 12 points and Mckayla Peltier 11.

Golus collected 14 points in the first half and only two in the second, but those two made a huge difference. With 30 seconds left in the game, Golus was sent to the foul line and dropped both free throws to seal it.

The Eagles (19-6) were paced by Alexis Klabo’s double-double performance. Klabo scored 23 points, 12 rebounds and blocked four shots. Amber Burtness added 11 points.

BOYSRED RIVER 77, JAMESTOWN 64

FARGO (AP) — Grand Forks Red River’s Mark Toe posted a team-high 16 points and the Roughrid-ers’ bench added 26 points to beat Jamestown 77-64 at the North Dakota Class A boys basketball tournament Thursday.

Red River (16-9) start-ers Braedan Hanson and Shayden Keplin added 15 points and 13 points, respec-tively, and Tyler Straus came was 6-for-6 from the field for 12 points off the bench. Han-son also had nine rebounds.

The Blue Jays (10-15) were paced by Noah Wanzek with a game-high 14 rebounds and 15 points and Nick Fuchs with a game-high 23 points. Fuchs shot 6-for-9 in the first half, including a layup that knotted the score 33-33 with 30 seconds left in the half. He finished 9-for 20 from the field.

FARGO DAVIES 70TURTLE MOUNTAIN 65

FARGO (AP) — Fargo Davies overcame a 10-point deficit to start the second half and posted a 70-65 win over Turtle Mountain in the North Dakota Class A boys basketball tournament on Thursday.

The Braves took an early 10-point lead to start the second half, but a 3-pointer from Davies’ Collin Larson, back-to-back baskets from Austin Schultz, and a tip-in from Tashawn Berry knotted the score 51-51.

It was close the rest of the way. Turtle Mountain had the ball taken away in the closing seconds and never got off a shot to tie the game.

Schultz led the Eagles (21-4) with a team-high 16 points, despite shooting 6-for-20 from the field. Lar-son hit a pair of 3-pointers to finish with 15 points and Erik Engel posted double-double figures with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

The Braves (14-11) were paced by Nathan Martin with 23 points and five rebounds. Landyn Keplin shot 9-for-14 from the field for 22 points. Jordan Davis added 12.

‘Five tool’ Will Ferrell bats, fields, coaches in AZMESA, Ariz. (AP) — Telling everyone “I’m

a five-tool guy,” Will Ferrell was off on his barnstorming tour Thursday through five Arizona spring training games.

Wearing No. 19 for every team, the star of “Anchor-man: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” ‘’Elf” and many other movies started in an Oakland Athletics uniform in the early afternoon, then was off to four other ballparks, with the aim of playing for each team, and at each posi-tion along the way.

He hugged a guy in an elf suit as he left Mesa, held up a sign saying “Remember These Games Don’t Count’ as impromptu third base coach for the Chicago Cubs, made a surprising, and very unsuccessful, pinch-hit appearance and chased the ball around the outfield during a challenging stint in left field for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

His caravan took him from Mesa to Tempe to Scottsdale. From there, he rode by heli-copter across north Phoenix to Glendale, making a triumphant landing in center field

at the Camelback Ranch ballpark where the San Francisco Giants were meeting the Chicago White Sox.

The night was to end in the dark in Peoria, where the Los Angeles Dodgers met the San Diego Padres.

And it was all for a good cause, he said.

Before his odyssey began, Ferrell told a radio interview-er that he expected to raise

$1 million to be used for college scholarships for cancer survivors. The entire tour was being chronicled by HBO for an upcoming special. Memorabilia from his journey is to be sold at auction on MLB.com with pro-ceeds going to Cancer for College and Stand Up to Cancer. Ferrell had his usual (false) bravado on display.

In the A’s clubhouse before the game, he told shortstop Marcus Semien, “I could catch fire today and you could be on a bus back to Triple-A.”

In his interview on MLB radio, he said “I’m actually hoping that my acting career is over after today.”
