BISMARCK — House lawmakers breathed new life Tuesday into a bill that would provide money to ei-ther remodel or rebuild the aging governor’s residence on the Capitol grounds.
Senate Bill 2304 origi-nally contained $5 million from the Capitol Building Trust Fund, but the Senate
stripped the appropriation and converted the bill to a study before unanimously passing it.
On Friday, after touring the residence, members of the House Government and Veterans Affairs Committee amended the bill to provide $4 million from the trust fund and require that $1 mil-lion be raised from private donations.
The full House approved the amendment Tuesday and sent the bill back to ap-propriations.
Rep. Jason Dockter, R-Bismarck, who carried the bill and toured the residence Friday, said the home has a number of problems, includ-ing security issues, a lack of handicapped accessibility and outdated décor, includ-ing a 1960s-era pink sink and
linoleum in the basement.“If anyone in the public
would tour that place, they would be embarrassed,” he said.
Plans for a new residence include a public gathering space for at least 100 people and a parking lot to bet-ter accommodate hosting events.

BISMARCK (AP) — North Dakota, whose oil riches have been unlocked by the use of hydraulic fracturing, said Tuesday it will join Wyoming in a lawsuit chal-lenging a new federal rule requiring more information about the process when it's used on U.S. government lands.
The Obama administra-tion announced in March that it will require com-panies that drill on fed-eral lands to disclose the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management rule, under consideration for about four years, takes effect in June.
Wyoming and North Dakota believe the move is unlawful in part because it interferes with their own regulations that address the process.
"Our rules are very ro-bust, very stringent and we enforce them," said North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem.
North Dakota will official-ly join Wyoming's lawsuit today, Stenehjem said. That suit alleges the BLM over-stepped its jurisdiction with the rules and they conflict with the federal Safe Drink-ing Water Act. Stenehjem said the BLM does not have authority to regulate hy-draulic fracturing and other "underground injections" under that federal law.
"The claims in their lawsuit parallel our own," Stenehjem said of Wyo-ming's challenge, and noted that joining the existing challenge will make the law-suit more cost effective for both states. North Dakota already has $1 million set aside specifically for litiga-

WILLISTON — North Dakota starting today will require the more-than 1.2 million barrels of crude extracted each day from the state's Bakken shale forma-tion be run through ma-chines that remove volatile gases linked to recent crude-by-rail disasters.
The controversial step is designed to abrogate the damage North Dakota crude oil - 70 percent of which is transported via rail - can cause during derailments.
In the absence of concrete
regulations from the U.S. Department of Transporta-tion, North Dakota's new rules become the de facto national standard on the treatment of crude before tankcar loading.
"North Dakota's crude oil conditioning order is based on sound science and repre-sents an important step in the ongoing work to ensure that oil-by-rail transporta-tion is as safe as possible," said Governor Jack Dal-rymple, who has also been pushing federal regulators for stricter rail car designs.
The new regulations
require every single barrel of North Dakota crude to be filtered for ethane, pro-pane and other natural gas liquids (NGLs), which are found naturally co-mingled with oil.
North Dakota crude con-tains a far-higher percent-age of those gases than, for instance, crude extracted in Texas or Alaska, and that added volatility fu-eled a deadly derailment in Quebec in late 2013, as well as a string of successive disasters.
The goal would be to produce a barrel of Bakken
crude with pressure of no more than 13.7 psi, similar to 13.5 psi for most automo-bile gasoline.
Because most of the oil ex-tracted in the United States via hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as "frack-ing," is transported by rail, North Dakota's rules will in-fluence regulatory decisions in Colorado, Wyoming and new shale fields, and have a national ripple effect.

WILLISTON — The developer of a $500 million mixed-used development to be located north of Williston is asking the public for its input and support.
A public information ses-sion on Williston Crossing is planned for 6 to 7:30 p.m. April 6 at the Williston Area Recreational Center, 822 18th St. E.
Stropiq principals Ellen Weyrauch and Terry Olin will be on hand to answer questions about the devel-opment. Architects from Gensler will also be on hand, as will Larry Jensen and Donn Fuller with JLL.
RSVPs are recommended to attend. Email them to [email protected], along with your name, to secure a spot.
You can also take a one-minute survey about the project at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Wil-listonCrossing.
The proposed location for Williston Crossing is High-way 2 and the Northwest Bypass, north of Williston, about 6 miles from the city's preferred airport site.
The project will be built in phases, the developer has said, with phase one to in-clude a water park and hotel and some retail shopping.
Olin says he is touring other water parks and plans to trump anything within driving distance of Wil-liston Crossing. That will create a magnet he believes will draw in enough poten-tial shoppers to eventually attract the big box stores Williston lacks.
He says Stropiq's concept drew high interest at an international retailer's con-ference last May.
The project is expected to be on the April 7 agenda of the Williams County Board of Commissioners for consideration. It received a recommendation to approve from the Williams County Planning and Zoning Com-mission on Thursday in a tight 5 to 4 vote.
Stropiq seeking input on project
House amends bill to for new N.D. gov.’s residence
tion on hydraulic fracturing issues, he said. The money, approved by lawmakers two years ago, comes at least partially from oil tax revenue.
The Interior Department and the BLM declined to comment on the lawsuit, citing pending litigation.
Hydraulic fracturing uses a pressurized concoc-tion of water, chemicals and grit that are injected underground to break open oil-bearing rock, which allows the oil to flow to the well. To capture crude from the formations in North Dakota, companies drill down nearly two miles then angle the well sideways for about another two to three miles. Because the oil wells run horizontally, if they cut even a corner across federal land, the rule would apply.
The technique, more com-monly known as fracking, has elevated North Dakota
from the ninth biggest oil-producing state just seven years ago to second, trail-ing only Texas.
In some states, the use of fracking has been blamed for endangering water quality. North Dakota regulators say the state's water sources are protected by thousands of feet of geologic formations atop fracturing operations.
North Dakota has had rules addressing fracking - and the required disclosure of chemicals in the process - since 2012. Wyoming has had similar rules in place since 2010.
The new federal rule could add "months or even years" to the permitting process and will hamper the drilling of thousands of wells in the state, said North Dakota Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms, the state's top en-ergy regulator.
"We have no choice but to protect our rights here," said North Dakota Gov.
Jack Dalrymple, who heads the state Industrial Com-mission, which oversees the state's energy industry. Dalrymple, Stenehjem and Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring make up the commission.
Ron Ness, president of the North Dakota Pe-troleum Council, which represents more than 500 companies working in the state, said the permitting process on federal land already is overly burden-some and agencies are understaffed to deal with oil production in North Dakota and elsewhere.
"This duplicates what this state and other states already have done," Ness said. "And BLM already is overwhelmed and resource-short."
Two industry groups, the Western Energy Alliance and Independent Petroleum Association of America, filed a separate but similar lawsuit over the rules in Wyoming federal court in March.
Viola Allard, 85, of Tren-ton and Williston, passed away Saturday afternoon, March 28, 2015, at the Stadter Center in Grand Forks.
Cremation has taken place. Viola’s family will be greeting the public at the Everson-Coughlin Funeral Home Chapel in Williston on Wednesday evening, April 1 from 5 to 7 p.m. No other services are planned at this time.
Viola M. Turcotte was born on Oct. 6, 1929 to Daniel J. and Clara Eliza-beth (Burns) Turcotte. She was raised and educated in Trenton.
In October of 1946, Viola was united in marriage to
Ernest J. Allard of Belcourt. They established their home in Williston where they raised their family.
Viola loved to listen to baseball games, fishing and playing BINGO.

The triumvirate relied
heavily on a crude quality report from Turner Mason & Co funded by the state's oil producers that downplayed the volatility of North Dakota oil. That's proven a delicate balancing act for the oil industry, which also touts the appeal of the state's crude to refiners.
"North Dakota officials need to think more about the safety and health of all the people who live along train tracks nationwide," said Don Morrison, head of the Dakota Resource Coun-cil, an environmental group. "These new rules don't cut it."

North Dakota news briefs: Crop levels changing, grass fire causing issuesFARGO (AP) — North
Dakota farmers this year are expected to plant more
wheat and sugar beets but less corn and soybeans.
The federal Agriculture
Department projects the size of the state's spring wheat crop to be up 1 percent and the durum wheat crop to be up 4 percent from last year. Farmers intend to plant 4 percent more sugar beets.
Soybean acres are ex-pected to drop 2 percent from last year's record, and corn acres are projected to
be down 4 percent over the year.
The state's dry edible bean and hay crops also are expected to drop in size. But North Dakota farmers are expected to plant more sunflowers, barley, dry peas, lentils, flaxseed and oats. Canola acres are projected to be unchanged.
NO INJURIES IN GRASS FIRESBISMARCK (AP) — Crews
have been battling grass fires around North Dakota as warm, dry conditions persist.
A fire north of Minot on Tuesday afternoon burned about 100 acres and came close to an uninhabited rural school.
Flames also crept danger-ously close to some homes northeast of Bismarck on Tuesday, but none were damaged.
In nearby Morton County, firefighters at the Tesoro oil refinery battled a blaze on refinery land. It didn’t threaten any infrastruc-ture.

WILLISTON — Two Wil-liston third graders have been recognized for their “If I were Mayor for a Day” essays. Ja’Waya Cason and Baylee Brouilette received first and second place respectively in the contest. They were honored for their winning efforts at a recent Williston City Commission meeting.
The contest is held in conjunction with the North Dakota League of Cities statewide “Mayor for a Day” essay competition. After the League of Cities wraps up its judging the Williston entries are forwarded to Williston Economic Development for scoring. Williston Mayor Howard Klug was even involved in the process. He joked that it was a good thing he joined non-biased individ-uals in scoring the essays.
“I was partial to the essay that said ‘The current Wil-liston Mayor is awesome!,” he teased.
The contestants read their essays and received a plaque and gift bag on behalf of the mayor and the commission. Both of the students noted that if they were mayor, keeping Williston clean was a priority. Cason, a member of Ms. Beckstead’s class at Hagan Elementary School, also wanted to help less fortunate families with basic necessities such as affordable housing, food and clothing. Meanwhile Brouillette, a student in Mrs. Heller’s class at Lewis & Clark Elementary School, emphasized the importance of recycling.
Ja’Waya Cason wrote: “… If I was Mayor for a Day I would make sure the community is clean be-cause your community is
so important to everybody. I would make sure every fam-ily has a home to stay in and people who have no food I would by them so food. …”
Baylee Brouillette wrote: “… If I were Mayor for the Day the schools in Williston will go outside, every day in the afternoon and pick up all the garbage. And don’t put everything in the garbage bin put recycling material in the recycling bin. …”
Mayor Klug also gave the first place winner the option to either ride with him in the Band Day Parade or help him cut a ribbon during the grand opening of the Willis-ton Center for Development office building. Klug advised Cason to ‘take some time to evaluate her decision’ and get back to him.
The essay contest helps encourage youth to learn about leadership opportuni-ties in their communities.

Under the bipartisan bill, construction couldn’t start until cash donations or pledges reach $500,000. If donations exceed $1 million, the state Office of Management and Budget can seek approval from the Emergency Commis-sion and the Legislature’s Budget Section to spend the extra money on the new residence.
The Capitol Building Trust Fund receives rev-enue from rental income on 9,985 surface acres and from 27,700 acres where the state has mineral rights. That land supports seven
oil wells, four of which are Bakken wells that were drilled last year and brought in $1 million worth of royalties, said Jeff Engleson, investments di-rector for the state Depart-ment of Trust Lands.
The trust fund contained nearly $5.6 million at the end of last year and is pro-jected to reach $6.2 million by the end of the 2015-17 biennium. That doesn’t ac-count for the $4 million for the governor’s residence but does assume that law-makers will approve a cur-rent proposal to spend $1.4 million on Capitol entrance and sign projects, Engleson said.
“So there is enough to cover the (governor’s resi-dence) if they go that way,” he said.
Dockter is optimistic about the bill’s chances, saying it won’t use any tax-payer dollars and won’t af-fect other building projects being considered for next biennium.
“I think we’ll be able to do it,” he said.
A bill last session that called for using $3 million from the Capitol building fund and $3 million from private donations and other sources also received a favorable committee recom-mendation but was defeated 40-51 in the House.

MINOT (AP) — Ward County commissioners are trying to put the brakes on the number and cost of de-sign changes to a $19.2 mil-lion office building project.
Extra costs since construc-tion began have surpassed half a million dollars. Many of the new costs are the re-sult of requests from depart-ment heads for their new offices, such as bullet-proof glass for the Social Services office, according to architect Don Davison.
"With that comes a price,
and that's where it gets a little bit ugly," he said.
Another issue is that fire-rated elevator doors were overlooked in the building's original design.
JLG Architects budgeted $700,000 for unexpected changes to the project, but only $20,000 remains in that contingency fund, according to Davison.
Commissioner John Fjel-dahl said he is troubled that changes have been made to the project without commis-sion approval.
Ward Co. moves to stop mounting building costs
For many conservatives, the fight against Obamacare has been the defining battle of President Obama’s years in the White House. For them, and probably a majority of the Republican base, fighting first against the passage of the Affordable Care Act and later pressing to repeal it have been so important because: A) they strongly oppose the sub-stance of the law, and B) they see opposition to Obamacare as the best way to resist the president’s overall expansion of government.
That the struggle has so far been a losing one has not changed the fact that conserva-tives require their presidential candidates to have solid anti-Obamacare bona fides.
Recently a well-known conservative activist, recalling the GOP effort to stop the Affordable Care Act in 2009 and 2010, asked: Where was Jeb Bush? I don’t remember him being there when we were doing everything we could to derail Obamacare.
“A big vulnerability for the governor, when the debates start, is to remind us again, where were you during the battle over Obamacare?” noted that activist, Gary Bauer, of the conservative group American Values. “I don’t recall much (from him) dur-ing those years. I don’t think not being a vet-eran of those wars is a plus for Gov. Bush.”
Bauer is basically right. In 2009 and early 2010, as Obam-acare made its troubled way through Congress, Bush -- a respected former two-term Republican governor of Florida with solid conservative credentials -- remained mostly si-lent about the biggest public policy fight in a generation.
Bush statements that even tangentially touched on the Af-fordable Care Act were few and far between. In March 2009, for example, as the battle was just beginning, Bush penned an op-ed calling for conservatives to be the “loyal opposi-tion” in the face of far-reaching Democratic initiatives. He added: “Simply opposing the massive encroachment of government into health care won’t solve the problem of af-fordability of health insurance for many Americans.”
A couple of months later, in May 2009, when Bush joined fellow Republicans Eric Cantor and Mitt Romney on a “listening tour” Bush said: “It’s time for us to listen first, to learn a little bit, to upgrade our message a little bit and to not be nostalgic about the past. You can’t beat something with nothing, and the other side has something. I don’t like it, but they have it and we have to be respectful and mindful of that.”
That’s pretty much it for 2009 and early 2010, as the health care battle raged on Capitol Hill.
“He wasn’t in Congress,” Bush spokesman Tim Miller said when I asked what the former governor was doing in 2009 as far as Obamacare was concerned. “He did not have a very big footprint as a guy on the cable news circuit in the years after he left the governor’s office. He was focused on business.”
One part of Bush’s business was a lucrative seat on the board of directors of the hospital giant Tenet Healthcare. Bush joined the company after leaving the governor’s office and was paid more than $2 million for his services between 2007 and last year, when he resigned to run for president. Te-net strongly supported the passage of Obamacare and has profited enormously from it.
I asked Miller whether Bush’s near-silence on Obamacare was the result of his place on the Tenet board. “Absolutely not,” Miller said. “He forcefully advocated against it in board meetings, to the point that it bubbled up in public. When asked about it, he was very clear that he was in op-position to it.”
What Miller meant by “bubbled up in public” was a line in a New York Times article in 2014 -- years after Obamacare became law -- which reported: “Tenet’s chief executive, Trevor Fetter, said Mr. Bush had made no secret of his objections to the health care overhaul at company meet-ings. But (Fetter) suggested that Mr. Bush understood the difference between ‘personal views and what is best for the company.’ Mr. Fetter predicts that in 2014, the Affordable Care Act will deliver up to $100 million in new earnings for Tenet.”
Bush did not remain silent forever. On March 22 -- the day after Obamacare finally, officially passed the House and Senate and headed to the president’s desk for signature -- Bush spoke out forcefully against the new law. Appearing on Fox News, he called Obamacare a “major overreach” and a “huge new entitlement” and a “massive tax increase” that would “play out in the future by giving up our own free-dom and put it in the hands of government.” With the 2010 elections approaching, Bush predicted “a massive uprising against this government takeover of our lives.”
It was a tough, far-ranging indictment -- delivered the day after the bill had been safely passed into law.
Later in 2010, Bush campaigned, raised money for, or endorsed several Republican candidates who advocated re-pealing Obamacare -- among them Jim DeMint, Pat Toomey, Rand Paul, Rob Portman, Raul Labrador, Brian Sandoval, John Kasich, Mary Fallin, Nikki Haley, Scott Walker, and others, according to Miller.
More recently, as a presidential run has neared, Bush has sharpened his critique of Obamacare. In a late 2013 appear-ance on ABC, he called the health law “flawed to its core.” This month, in Iowa, he called it a “monstrosity.”
But that is now. Back when it was all on the line, and Republicans were gathering their forces in a desperate at-tempt to stop Obamacare, Jeb Bush mostly held his tongue.

POST FALLS, Idaho (AP) — Police say a northern Idaho man called 911 a dozen times to report being overcharged at a bar and now faces a $1,000 fine and a year in jail.
Post Falls police Capt. Pat Knight says an officer gave Phillip Poissonnier of Post Falls a ride home after
he was kicked out of Club Tequila just after 1 a.m. Monday.
Knight tells Spokane, Washington, television sta-tion KXLY that Poissonnier then made 12 emergency calls, the first wanting offi-cers to come back to discuss his bar tab.
The TV station reports
that a bartender produced Poissonnier's receipts show-ing he was charged $30 for the 10 beers he ordered.
Police say he faces a misdemeanor citation over misusing 911.
Poissonnier couldn't be reached by The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Police: Idaho man calls 911 a dozen times about bar bill
TOKYO (AP) — The whiff of a Whopper made hundreds of customers hungry for a Burger King special — "Flame Grilled" cologne.
Bottles of the special fragrance were sold at the fast-food chain's stores in Japan for a one-day promotion Wednesday for 5,000 yen (about $40), including a burger.
At a downtown Tokyo outlet, 17-year-old student Yuki Ishi-bashi bought one out of curiosity. He described the scent as "spicy."
Nanako Katabami bought one as an unusual gift, and quoted her friend as saying it smelled like a Burger King.

A6 WILLISTON HERALD WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 2015 Nation/World
BY TOM DAVIES AND ANDREW DEMILLOASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence asked lawmakers Tuesday to send him a clarification of the state's new religious-freedom law later this week, while Arkansas legislators passed a similar measure, despite criticism that it is a thinly disguised attempt to permit discrimination against gays.
The Arkansas proposal now goes to Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who has said he will sign it.
Pence defended the Indiana law as a vehicle to protect re-ligious liberty but said he has been meeting with lawmak-ers "around the clock" to ad-dress concerns that it would allow businesses to deny ser-vices to gay customers.
The governor said he does not believe "for a minute" that lawmakers intended "to cre-ate a license to discriminate."
"It certainly wasn't my in-tent," said Pence, who signed the law last week.
But, he said, he "can ap-preciate that that's become the perception, not just here in Indiana but all across the country. We need to confront that."
The Indiana law prohibits any laws that "substantially burden" a person's ability to follow his or her religious beliefs. The definition of "person" includes religious institutions, businesses and associations.
Although the legal language does not specifically mention gays and lesbians, critics say the law is designed to shield businesses and individuals who do not want to serve gays and lesbians, such as florists or caterers who might be hired for a same-sex wedding.
In Washington, White House spokesman Josh Ear-nest said Indiana officials appeared to be in "damage-control mode" following the uproar over the law.
Earnest also took issue with Pence's claim that Indiana's law was rooted in a 1993 fed-eral law. He said the Indiana measure marked a "signifi-cant expansion" over that law because it applies to private
transactions beyond those involving the federal govern-ment.
The federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act arose from a case related to the use of peyote in a Native American ritual. But in 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal law did not apply to the states. So states began enacting their own laws. Twenty now have them on the books.
Businesses and organiza-tions including Apple and the NCAA have voiced concern over Indiana's law, and some states have barred government-funded travel to the state.
Democratic legislative lead-
ers said a clarification would not be enough.
"To say anything less than a repeal is going to fix it is incorrect," House Minority Leader Scott Pelath said.
Republican Senate Presi-dent Pro Tem David Long said lawmakers were negoti-ating a clarification proposal that he hoped would be ready for public release on Wednes-day, followed by a vote Thurs-day before sending the pack-age to the governor.
"We have a sense that we need to move quickly out here and be pretty nimble," Long said. "But right now, we don't have consensus on the lan-guage."
Also Tuesday, the In-
dianapolis Star urged state lawmakers in a front-page editorial to respond to wide-spread criticism of the law by protecting the rights of gays and lesbians.
The Star's editorial, head-lined "FIX THIS NOW," covered the newspaper's entire front page. It called for lawmakers to enact a law that would prohibit discrimina-tion on the basis of a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.
The newspaper says the uproar sparked by the law has "done enormous harm" to the state and potentially to its economic future.
In Little Rock, hundreds of people filled the Arkansas
Capitol for a second day to protest the measure, holding signs that read "Hate is Not Holy" and "We are Open for Business for All Arkansans."
If enacted, the Arkansas proposal would prohibit state and local governments from infringing on a person's reli-gious beliefs without a "com-pelling" reason. The proposal was given final approval in a series of votes after the Re-publican-led House rejected efforts to send the bill back to committee to change it.
"The reality is what we're doing here is really not that remarkable," Republican Bob Ballinger, the lawmaker be-hind Arkansas' measure, told reporters. "I do understand
it's kind of taken on a life of its own."
Similar proposals have been introduced this year in more than a dozen states.
Democrats said they had hoped to amend the proposal to make it clear the measure could not be used to deny services to someone based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.
"In Indiana, they can say we were not prepared for the backlash," said Democratic Rep. Clarke Tucker, who op-posed the bill. "We don't really have that luxury in Arkansas because we've had a real-time preview of what we're up against because of what has happened in Indiana over the last week."
Arkansas-based retail gi-ant Wal-Mart, which has previously said the bill sends the wrong message about its home state, called on Hutchinson to veto the bill.
"Today's passage of HB1228 threatens to undermine the spirit of inclusion present throughout the state of Ar-kansas and does not reflect the values we proudly up-hold," Chief Executive Officer Doug McMillon said in a statement Tuesday.
In a letter also released Tuesday, Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola urged Hutchin-son to veto the proposal, which he said would hurt the state's economic-development efforts by sending "the mes-sage that some members of our community will have fewer protections than others. Our city and our state cannot be limited to only certain seg-ments of society."
The Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce also opposed the measure, calling it bad for business.
Sexual orientation and gen-der identity are not included in Arkansas' anti-discrim-ination protections. Last month, Hutchinson allowed a measure to go into law that prevented local governments from including such protec-tions in their anti-discrimina-tion ordinances.
DeMillo reported from Little Rock, Arkansas.
Indiana gov. wants changes to religious-objections law
Darron Cummings/Associated Press
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence listens to a question during a news conference, Tuesday, March 31, 2015, in Indianapolis. Pence said that he wants leg-islation on his desk by the end of the week to clarify that a new religious-freedom law does not allow discrimination. The law has triggered an outcry, with businesses and organizations voicing concern and some states barring government-funded travel to the Midwestern state.

Iraqi security forces and allied Shiite militiamen celebrate as they hold a flag of the Islamic State group they captured in Tikrit, 80 miles (130 kilometers) north of Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday, March 31, 2015.
BY QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA AND SAMEER N. YACOUBASSOCIATED PRESS
TIKRIT, Iraq (AP) — Iraq declared a "magnificent vic-tory" Wednesday over the Is-lamic State group in Tikrit, a key step in driving the militants out of their biggest strongholds.
Iraqi Defense Minister Khalid al-Obeidi made the pronouncement, saying security forces have "ac-complished their mission" in the monthlong offensive to rid Saddam Hussein's hometown and the broader Salahuddin province of the militant group.
"We have the pleasure, with all our pride, to an-nounce the good news of a magnificent victory," Obeidi said in a video statement. "Here we come to you, An-bar! Here we come to you, Nineveh, and we say it with full resolution, confidence, and persistence," naming other provinces under the sway of the extremists.
Extremists from the Islam-ic State group seized Tikrit
last summer during its ad-vance across northern and western Iraq. The battle for Tikrit is seen as a key step toward eventually driving the militants out of Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city and the provincial capital of Nineveh.
Iraqi forces, including sol-diers, police officers, Shiite militias and Sunni tribes, launched a large-scale op-eration to recapture Tikrit on March 2. Last week, the United States launched air-strikes on the embattled city at the request of the Iraqi government.
Recapturing Tikrit would be the biggest win so far for Baghdad's Shiite-led gov-ernment. The city is about 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of Baghdad and lies on the road connecting the capital to Mosul. Retaking it will help Iraqi forces have a major supply link for any future operation against Mosul.
Earlier Wednesday, Iraqi security forces fired on snip-ers and searched homes for remaining militants. Sol-
diers fanned out in circles from the charred skeletal remains of the Salahud-din provincial government complex, captured the day before.
Militant mortar fire, which had been intense over previous days, fell silent Wednesday, with command-ers saying only a few mili-tant snipers remained in the city. They spoke on condi-tion of anonymity to discuss ongoing operations.
The objective, Interior Minister Mohammed Salem al-Ghabban said Wednes-day, is now to restore nor-malcy as quickly as possible.
"After clearing the area from roadside bombs and car bombs, we will reopen police stations to restore normalcy in the city, and we will form committees to supervise the return of people displaced from their homes," al-Ghabban said. He said the government will help displaced residents re-turn and that a civil defense unit will be combing the city for roadside bombs and car bombs.

TATTOOED EGGSMy next option was much
less time consuming, and although finding out what colors the naturally dyed eggs would turn was a lot of fun for the kids, the tat-tooed eggs were much more satisfying for them because it took 30 seconds for them to see exactly what they were going to get. It was also fun for me because there was a lot less mess.
To make these, we took the hard-boiled eggs and tem-porary tattoos and simply followed the tattoo instruc-tions using the eggs instead of the children's arms, hands, legs, faces, etc. It was really fun, and the possibilities are nearly endless. One walk through a party supply store will show you that nearly ev-ery party theme has a tempo-rary tattoo design to match.
OMBRE EGGSThe last and final method
is the ombre design, which is perfect for those of you who are into theme decorating, like to follow the trends and appreciate a more modern and streamlined look. (Or those of you who just don't want to deal with a bunch of different cups of egg dye ly-ing around the kitchen.)
To make the ombre eggs,
prepare your favorite color of egg dye. You may want 2 or 3 different cups going at the same time so you don't spend all night on the proj-ect.
The idea of the method is to
dye the eggs in the same col-or but use different amounts of time for each one. The lon-ger the eggs sit in the dye, the deeper the shade. The lesser the amount of time, the light-er the egg will be.

While living in a boom-town, many people desire the need to eat some down-home cookin’ barbecue.
And that can now be found at Mississippi BBQ which opened in November 2014.
Owners Caleb Hendrick-son, Michael Schull, and pit master Harry Schull first met when Caleb was a walk-in customer who first came into Mississippi BBQ when Michael first purchased the café, located at 13830 Front St. in Williston.
Why decide to start a south-ern barbecue café?
“Originally Mississippi BBQ was owned by different people and under a different name,” Harry said. “Michael and I came in here one day and just fell in love with the food and decided this is some-thing we could do, this is a way we can do what we love.”
Hendrickson was born and raised in Williston and owns another restaurant, The Pita Palace. When he first came to Mississippi BBQ he was immediately intrigued and wanted to know how he can go about becoming a part of the business.
Hendrickson brought friendly employees and Michael had brought the pit
master, his father Harry, who has only been a pit mas-ter for more than a year.
“When I first entered Mis-sissippi BBQ I felt immediate hospitality and was intrigued by the many spices that you could smell as you made your way to sit down,” Harry said.
What makes this BBQ unique? According to Harry its fresh meat smoked every-day in a large smoker and cooked for 12 hours.
And a fair price, he adds.Recently, Mississippi BBQ
participated in the Taste of Williston and won first prize, with a very distinct and fla-vor filler southern spices.
“We want to be involved and help give back to the community.” Harry stated while helping the local Close Up at Williston High School raise money to take a trip to Washington D.C.
Along with bringing a
unique south barbecue taste to Williston, Mississippi BBQ started taking pictures of their customers who come in hungry as can be, but don’t finish their meals.
Those pictures end up on the Wall of Shame for all to see.

3 Tetons earn All-American honorsScheschuck, Peratalo named in hockey; Myers in men’s basketballBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD
WILLISTON — Williston State College athletics have always had their share of all-Americans.
And the long tradition carried on Tuesday as the NJCAA All-American teams were announced for basket-ball and hockey.
And the Tetons had three athletes honored.
In hock-ey, Shain Sche-schuck was named to the NJ-CAA All-American first team,
while Spencer Pertatalo was selected to the second team.
Scheschuck, a freshman from Wadena, Canada, led the Tetons in scoring with 29 points.
He was also in the nation’s top 10 in points, goals and assists.
Peratalo, a sophomore from Chisolm, Minn., was the anchor on the blue line.
Peratalo was sixth in the nation in power play goals, while finishing the year with 19 points.
In basketball, Teyvon Myers was named as an honorable mention NJCAA All-American.
The all-American award is voted on by a combination of athletic directors and coaches from around the country.
Myers scored 729 points this past season, and led the nation in scoring with a 25.1 points per game average.
Myers, a sophomore from Brooklyn, N.Y., played in all 30 games this past season for the Tetons.
He ranked in the top 10 in free throws made and shots made.
Myers recently verbally committed to West Virginia University.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Michigan State title would be worth $1 million to Vegas manLAS VEGAS (AP) — Derek Stevens
didn’t need to fill out a bracket to become a big winner in the NCAA Tournament. He’s got a $1 million payout waiting if Michigan State keeps defying the odds and wins the national champi-onship.
A bet made in December when Michigan State was 5-3 and seemingly going nowhere will pay big for the down-town Las Vegas casino owner if the Spartans end up cutting down the nets Monday night.
“I thought it was worth the risk,” Stevens said. “Obviously it was a big longshot and it’s still a big long-shot.”
Stevens, who frequently stops in at the Golden Nugget sports books as he walks between the two casinos he operates, told sports book direc-
tor Tony Miller at the beginning of the season that he wanted to make a big bet on which team would win the national championship.
After a few weeks of talking, on Dec. 5 Stephens put $20,000 down on the Spar-tans at 50-1 odds.
“I thought with a coach like Tom Izzo with such a great track record and the basketball season be-ing a long marathon that it was worth it,” Stevens said. “The
value was there and they were will-ing to take my bet.”
Stevens is friends with both Miller and Golden Nugget owner Tilman Fertitta, who had to approve the bet because of the size of the payout. He said Fertitta has been texting him whenever Michigan State gets behind in the tournament, saying it looks like he’s about to lose the bet.
“We talk and jostle back and forth
about it,” he told The Associated Press.
Michigan State still needs to pull two upsets if Stevens is going to collect his million dol-lars. The Spartans are five-point underdogs to Duke in their semifinal matchup, and would be underdogs to either Kentucky or Wisconsin should they get that far.
That has him thinking about hedging his bet going into the weekend with a play on the other side.
“Before tipoff I’m going to hedge it a little bit,” he said. “Just to have something no matter what happens.”
Stevens, who went to the Uni-versity of Michigan, owns The D hotel-casino and the Golden Gate on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. The area has long been over-shadowed by the glittering Strip, but Stephens said downtown has an
underdog spirit and op-erators who are willing to take big chances.
Nevada gaming regu-lations forbid casino operators from betting in their own casinos, so Stevens places his bets as he walks between the two properties he owns.
If the Spartans con-tinue their improbable run, Stevens has a plan for the proceeds from his payday.
He’s going to give some money to the
Tarkanian Basketball Academy in memory of the late UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian, and give a bonus to all the employees in his casinos who were working for him the day he made the bet.
“If we do get fortunate enough to make it and pull off winner, I’m going to make sure we take care of a lot of people who take care of me,” he said.

Dear Annie: My son lives in California and is going to marry a local girl in the fall. Our entire family lives in the Midwest. My husband and I, along with our daughter’s family, will attend. But I know it is far too expensive for any of my relatives to be there.
Should they receive invita-tions even though we know they can’t come? I don’t want it to seem like a gift grab. Do I have a “meet the bride and groom” party in our hometown after the wedding? What is the proper proce-dure?
I have another question, too. My husband and I are retired, but are giving our son and future daughter-in-law a large sum of money to help with wedding costs. As the parents of the groom, we will pay for the rehearsal din-ner, but what about the rest? What are our responsibilities when it comes to out-of-state guests? -- Don’t Want To Get Another Job
Dear Don’t Want: If these are close relatives, they probably would be hurt or of-fended to be excluded. Please invite them. They may wish to send a gift whether they at-tend or not. But you can skip more distant acquaintances, such as business associates or people you rarely contact. And should you decide to have an informal reception of your own after the wedding, that would be lovely and
much appre-ciated.
As for ex-penses, your son should be covering most of them without your assistance. These days, most couples split the costs, per-haps with help from
their parents. Traditionally, the groom or his parents would be responsible for his attendants’ accommodations, along with the officiant’s fee and travel costs. Other out-of-town guests, however, are on their own. They should be given information about available hotels in the area, and you can supply a gift basket to each room so the guests have something to nibble on should they arrive too late to find an open res-taurant. (Some hosts provide a hospitality suite or include all out-of-towners at the re-hearsal dinner, but this is optional and certainly not a requirement.) Our congratu-lations on your upcoming special event.
Dear Annie: I want to respond to the letters you’ve printed about relationships between mothers-in-law and their son’s wives.
When I first married my husband, my MIL was great -- shopping, vacations and
activities with the grand-children. When her parents experienced health problems, I helped care for them, in-cluding trips to the ER in the middle of the night, checking in on them daily and manag-ing their health care needs for 15 years. Meanwhile, my mother-in-law continued her traveling and active social life.
When her parents died, they left me an inheritance that ticked off my MIL. (Mind you, had she paid someone for the care I was giving, there would have been no money left.) My MIL never calls anymore, and I only see her on holidays, and she barely acknowledges me. She has given her daughter a trip to Europe and her other son a home makeover, but my hus-band receives nothing. I am cordial and polite, but things will never be the same. -- Fed-Up Daughter-in-Law
Dear Fed Up: You became the daughter her parents needed. When you were re-warded, it underscored her guilt, and that made her an-gry. We’re so sorry.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- In your rush to do too much, minor mishaps are likely. Proceed cautiously when using equipment or machinery. Problems with authority figures will surface if you lack diplomacy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Patience will be the key to get-ting ahead. Minor delays may keep you off-schedule, but you will accomplish all you set out
to do if you remain calm and avoid overreacting.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Unanticipated changes will cause you to hastily make crucial decisions. Don’t ex-pect your colleagues or fami-ly to agree with your choices. You need to put your needs first and prioritize.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be vigilant when it comes to your assets. A donation or investment will wreak havoc on your budget or retirement plans. Scrutinize any organi-zation that you are planning to invest in.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Emotional turmoil will slow you down. Do your best to maintain your composure, and take a more relaxed and forgiving attitude when deal-ing with colleagues or family members.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You have a lot to do today, making it vital that you dou-ble-check everything. Acting in haste will result in costly errors or problems with au-thority figures.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t second-guess your decisions or plans. Once you
have made up your mind, take action. You could miss a valuable opportunity if you don’t move quickly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t be over-whelmed by the number of issues facing you today. A methodical, step-by-step approach will help you get through your tasks without incident. Engage in home im-provements.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Put your strategy in place and get ready to advance. Set up meetings, travel or upgrade your quali-fications. Do whatever is nec-essary to ensure your future success.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You have been coasting for too long. It’s time to make big changes. A new vocation or relocation will be exactly what is needed to keep you moving in an upward direction.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t open up too quickly if someone is pressing you for personal information, or your words may be used against you. Unanticipated changes will end up working in your favor.

Anthony Trollope, a 19th-century English author, said, “Three hours a day will produce as much as a man ought to write.”
Not all authors would have agreed with that. Two who come to mind are Isaac Asimov and P.G. Wode-house. In this deal, though, declarer, in seven spades, has three choices at trick one after West leads the heart king. What are they, and which should he select?
This was a difficult bid-ding deal. South made what sounded to his partner like a help-suit game-try. North, holding excellent diamonds and four spades, jumped to game. Then South, out of ideas, used Blackwood with a void and finally guessed well to bid seven spades. (Users of textbook Roman Key Card Blackwood would have known that North had the diamond king, not the club king.)
The natural reaction is immediately to discard declarer’s club loser on dummy’s heart ace. But if South does that with this layout, he goes down one, falling foul to the unlucky 4-0 diamond break.
There are two other trick-one choices. Declarer can discard a diamond on the heart ace. Then, after draw-ing trumps, South can play three rounds of diamonds, ruff a diamond in his hand, return to dummy with a trump, and pitch his club loser on the 13th diamond. Alternatively, my pick: Play low from the dummy, ruff in hand, draw trumps, and turn to diamonds. When South sees the 4-0 split, he will realize the necessity for the diamond discard on the heart ace.

Study projects average MLB salary tops $4MBY RONALD BLUMTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK (AP) — Even before the first pitch of the 2015 season is thrown, an eye-popping baseball record will be set.
The average salary when opening-day rosters are finalized Sunday will break the $4 million barrier for the first time, according to a study of all major league contracts by The Associated Press. Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw tops players at $31 million and Los Ange-les projects to open the season with a payroll at about $270 million, easily a record.
“We’re enjoying a tremendously bountiful season in baseball,” said Toronto pitcher R.A. Dickey, the 2012 NL Cy Young Award winner with the New York Mets.
Fueled by the largest two-year growth in more than a decade, the average salary projects to be about $4.25 million, accord-ing to the AP study, with the final figure depending on how many players are put on the disabled list before the first pitch is thrown. That is up from $3.95 million on the first day of last season and $3.65 million when 2013 began.
“MLB’s revenues have grown in recent years, with the increase in national and local broadcast rights fees being a primary contributor,” said Dan Halem, MLB’s chief legal officer. “It is expected that player compensation will increase as club revenues increase.”
Baseball’s average was approximate-ly $50,000 in 1976, the last year before free agency. Back then, many players took offseason jobs to pay their bills.
Now almost all of them do their heavy lifting in gyms, not warehouses.
In a $9 billion industry propelled by ballpark luxury suites and premium tickets, regional sports networks and streaming video, more than half the major leaguers are millionaires.
The average broke the $1 million mark in 1992, topped $2 million in 2001 and reached $3 million in 2008.
By comparison, the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers has risen slightly less than fourfold since the first class of free agents started negotiations in November 1976. And the average U.S. wage in 2013, the latest figure available, was $44,888, according to the Social Se-curity Administration, up 1.28 percent from 2012.
“It isn’t just the TV deals,” union head Tony Clark wrote in an email to the AP. “From the parity on the field to the fan support & business off it (in-cluding the national TV contracts), the industry has never been healthier.”
Last year, the Dodgers opened at $234 million and ended the New York Yankees’ 15-year streak as baseball’s biggest spenders. Still seeking their first World Series title since 1988, Los Angeles is No. 1 by a huge margin. The Yankees project to be second at about $215 million, followed by Boston at around $185 million.
Detroit is fourth at roughly $170 mil-lion — about $100 million less than the Dodgers. Coming off its third World Series title in five years, San Francisco is fifth, about $1 million behind the Tigers.
The low rollers are led by Miami (about $65 million), with Houston a few million dollars higher. The large-mar-ket Mets are right around $100 million, a mark they haven’t reached since 2011.
“The industry is doing very well,” Yankees outfielder Carlos Beltran said. “The owners are making a lot of money and the salaries for the players are going up.”
Following Kershaw are Detroit pitcher Justin Verlander ($28 million), Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke ($27 mil-lion) and injured Texas outfielder Josh Hamilton ($25.4 million). Hamilton has a lengthy history of drug and alcohol abuse, and has been suspended in the past.
The AP’s figures include salaries and prorated shares of signing bonuses and other guaranteed income for players on active rosters, disabled lists and the restricted list. For some players, parts of deferred money are discounted to reflect current values.
Payroll numbers factor in adjust-ments for cash transactions in trades, signing bonuses that are the responsi-bility of the club agreeing to the con-tract, option buyouts, and termination pay for released players. San Diego is receiving $18 million from the Dodgers to cover most of Matt Kemp’s salary, and the Marlins are getting about $12.68 million from Los Angeles as part of the seven-player trade than sent Dan Haren to Miami.

FSU’s Winston shows off for NFL coaches, GMs
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Jameis Winston dodged brooms and blocking pads. He threw over outstretched arms and tennis rackets. He completed passes from the pocket and on the run.
Even when it was time for a brief break during Florida State’s pro day Tuesday, Winston grabbed the water bottles and served his team-mates.
No doubt, Winston put on quite a show for NFL coaches, general managers and scouts.
The Seminoles star threw passes for nearly an hour, demonstrating arm strength, accuracy and stamina while drawing cheers from the hundreds on hand.
His next public workout might be as the top pick in the NFL draft.
Winston sent a strong message — literally — that he should be the first player taken in next month’s draft. Asked why Tampa Bay should select him, Winston didn’t hesitate to respond.
“Because I’m the best player in this draft,” he said.
It would be hard to argue after his 55-minute passing session Tuesday that only solidi-fied what NFL teams have seen from Winston the last two years as Florida State’s starter.
Winston completed 91 of 102 passes, with at least half of the incompletions being drops. Of course, the routes didn’t include defenders, but executives were more concerned with little details that typically go unnoticed to untrained eyes.
“It was very good, excel-lent. He had a great day,” Buccaneers general man-ager Jason Licht said. “He threw a full nine innings. It looked good.”
Licht said Winston was in better shape than he was at the NFL combine, which should alleviate any con-cerns that may have arose af-ter those unflattering photos of Winston’s gut circulated on the Internet and on social media sites.
“I think that maybe puts a little water on that, puts that fire out,” said Licht, part of a big Bucs contingent that included coach Lovie Smith and offensive coordinator
Dirk Koetter.Licht said Winston’s condi-
tioning, leadership and arm strength stood out at Florida State’s indoor practice facil-ity.
“That was pretty impres-sive,” he said. “I’m sure it’s bittersweet for the coaching staff here at Florida State to watch him today.”
It wasn’t just Winston, either.
Defensive tackle Eddie Goldman, defensive end Mario Edwards Jr., versatile offensive lineman Cameron Erving and cornerbacks Ronald Darby and P.J. Wil-liams also proved to be wor-thy of early round picks.
Nonetheless, Winston got most of the attention.
He announced in January he was entering the NFL draft, leaving behind a tu-multuous college career that included a lengthy sexual
assault investi-gation.
He met with teams at the combine and met with the Tennessee Titans, who have the No. 2 pick in the draft, follow-ing his pro day Tuesday. Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt
declined interview requests. So did New Orleans coach Sean Payton.
Winston was scheduled to hold a private workout for Tampa Bay next week in Tal-lahassee.
“It’s been a huge job interview, and I’ve loved it,” said Winston, who played baseball at FSU the last two springs. “This is the first time I’ve been able to be a quarterback year-round. This is the first time I’ve been able to just sit and talk to another man eye to eye about what they may think about me or about what I might do.
“It’s not like talking to the media. You’re talking to an-other man, eye to eye, about why they should pick you. This has been a very enjoy-able process, and I love every second of it. If it’s some-thing dealing with football, I love it.”
Winston set the national freshman record in 2013 with 40 touchdown passes while throwing for 4,057 yards and 10 interceptions and leading the Seminoles to the national title.
NASCAR finds Ryan Newman’s race team manipulated tiresCHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
NASCAR levied harsh penal-ties against Ryan Newman’s race team Tuesday after de-termining Richard Childress Racing manipulated the tires Newman used at Auto Club Speedway in California.
There had been rampant speculation throughout the Sprint Cup garage that teams were drilling tiny holes in their tires to allow air to escape during a race. The process is known as “bleed-ing tires” and NASCAR last week at Martinsville Speed-way warned crew chiefs about the penalties that would be levied against any team caught.
Newman was one of four drivers to have his tires taken by NASCAR after the March 22 race at Fontana. The tires were sent for an independent inspection, and NASCAR said Tuesday that Newman’s tires were found to have violated a rule that
“bars any modifications to the tire or wheel, including the valve stem hardware, that is used to release pres-sure.”
As a result, crew chief Luke Lambert was fined $125,000 and sus-pended for the next six races.
The suspension also includes the All-Star race in May. Lambert was also placed on probation through the end of the year.
Tire technician James Bender and engineer Philip Surgen were also suspended six races and placed on pro-bation through Dec. 31.
Newman and car owner Childress were docked 75 points each. The penalty dropped Newman, runner-up to Kevin Harvick in last year’s championship finale, from sixth to 27th in the
standings.“NASCAR takes very
seriously its responsibility to govern and regulate the rules of the sport in order to ensure competitive balance,”
said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR ex-ecutive vice president. “We’ve been
very clear that any modifica-tions to race vehicle tires is an unacceptable practice and will not be tolerated.”
Torrey Galida, President of Richard Childress Racing, said the team was awaiting more information from NAS-CAR before deciding how to proceed.
“We understand the seri-ousness of the penalty. In fact, RCR has been one of the most outspoken opponents against ‘tire bleeding’ since the rumors began to surface last season,” Galida said in a statement. “Once NASCAR
provides us with the spe-cific details of the infraction we will conduct a further internal investigation, and evaluate our options for an appeal.”
NASCAR has been periodi-cally doing random checks of tires since late last season, when rumors surfaced that Harvick’s team was bleeding tires to gain an edge. Harvick went on to win the champi-onship, and NASCAR never revealed any infractions re-garding the tires for Harvick or anyone else.
NASCAR then seized the tires of Harvick and Joey Logano following Harvick’s win at Phoenix earlier this month. Both drivers cleared inspection with no issues.
But NASCAR then took the tires for Harvick, his Stew-art-Haas Racing teammate Kurt Busch, and RCR drivers Newman and Paul Menard after California.
