WILLISTON — City Com-missioners heard the first reading to Ordinance 1017 to enact the city’s one-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction Tuesday.

The first reading was passed unanimously. The city will hold a second read-ing of the ordnance and vote on final approval in a later meeting.

City Planner Donald Kress told the Williston City Commission that the city’s territorial jurisdiction does not extend when the city an-nexes new land.

“Not too long ago the city was only about seven-and-a-half square miles. Now it’s over 23 square miles,” Kress said. “As the city has annexed, through both city-initiated and property owner initiated annexation, the city grew, but the ter-ritorial jurisdiction did not grow. We have outgrown our territorial jurisdiction.”

Expanding this territorial growth will affect the plan-ning department the most. When a resident calls 911 in the new territorial growth area they will be sent to the sheriff’s department, but if they want to rezone their property they will go through the city planning department instead of the county.

Kress said that the city will have to rezone all of the property that is being brought in by the new one-mile ETJ if the city ends up passing the ordinance. The land, which is mostly agricultural, according to Kress will be moved into the zoning area most similar to what the city offers.

“The county only has five zones and we have many more than that,” Kress said. “We have already starting doing research. We will do extensive field work on this. The city will undertake rezoning these properties. There is no cost or paper-work for the residents to fill out.”

No comment was made by the public during the public hearing portion of the read-ing.

WILLISTON — For years at Williston State College, it has been a running joke to have a room on campus with puppies.

This year it became a reality.

For three years Tara Wel-tikol, student life coordina-tor, has jokingly wanted a puppy room, and Mental Health Coordinator Leah Hoffman took the sugges-tion and ran with it. She began researching what other campuses were doing for finals week and found having service dogs brought to campus was not that unusual.

In her research, Hoffman found Service Dogs for America (SDA), located in Jud. She began talking with them a few months ago to set up the event. They were more than happy to come out to campus since socializ-ing the services dogs is a big portion of their training. Hoffman emphasised “how grateful we are that they made the trip.”

For finals week, the cam-pus very excitedly opened its doors to two dogs-in-training: Elliot and Buddy. Buddy is very in-tune to feelings and is being trained as a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) dog. Elliot is being trained for the same purpose, but due to

his structure, he is being trained as a mobility dog as well.

They have several types of dogs that are used to give a person their independence back. While labrador re-trievers are common, cocker spaniels are used for their nose to smell for a diabetic’s

blood sugar. Not only are they trained to pick up the scents of their partners but they can pick up the scent of other individuals when out in public.

The training for service dogs is very rigorous. They

WILLISTON — In 1975, Water Commissioner Stan Reep showed a certain young man the ins and outs of city government. That young man was Howard Klug, and Tuesday after-noon the Williston mayor returned the favor to a young man named Noah Germundson, who served as his shadow for the day.

It was all part of Elks Youth Day in Williston, an annual event since 1961 that brings area youth to their city and county governments for a day to shadow elected and appointed officials.

Germundson, to become mayor of Williston for the day, had to beat out several competitors for the post. Those competitors — Billy Anderson for one — were appointed to other worthy positions such as Williams County Chairman.

Anderson helped run the county's meeting Tuesday, alongside the actual chair-man, David Montgomery, calling for votes and discus-sion and prompting motions when it seemed the meeting had reached a standstill.

Sheriff Scott Busching

meanwhile, dressed Zach Powell out in a deputy's uniform for the day.

"He ran for the office and won, so he deserves to wear the uniform for the day," Busching said. "The people who get elected or appointed to sheriff or chief of police are given instruction about how to respect the uniform, and we explain to them that people will be watching them."

Busching likes Elks Youth Day because it helps raise aware citizens in Williston and Williams County.

"People need to understand how government functions," he said. "It's like watching sausage being made some-times. It's not pretty. But it's essential that these things happen to keep the govern-ment functioning."

Students took tours of county and city operations and got to ask questions of their elected officials at panel discussions. They also got to run some of the meet-ings, with help from their counterparts.

BILLINGS, Mont. — The U.S. oil industry has filed a court challenge to new rules aimed at reducing the risk of catastrophic accidents involving crude moved by rail, following a string of fiery derailments in the recent years.

The American Petroleum Institute petition to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals

in Washington, D.C., would block a requirement for improvements to railroad tank cars that are known to fail during accidents.

API spokesman Brian Straessle said the politically influential trade group sup-ports better tank cars but needs more time to get them on the tracks."We definitely support upgrades to the

fleet," Straessle said. "It's a matter of timing."

At least 24 oil trains have been involved in major fires or derailments over the past decade in the U.S. and Canada, including a 2013 ac-cident in Quebec that killed 47 people.

The latest derailment came last week, when a train carrying crude from the Bakken region derailed and caught fire in central North Dakota, forcing the evacuation of a small town.

The Department of Trans-portation rules unveiled May 1 call for an estimated 43,000 cars that primarily haul crude to be phased out of retrofitted by 2020. Simi-lar improvements to cars primarily carrying ethanol must be completed by 2023.

The petition filed late Monday also challenges a requirement for more advanced braking systems on fuel-hauling trains. The oil industry contends the brakes are unproven and would be too costly.

The braking rule has drawn similar objections from the rail industry, which is considering its own legal challenge to the rule,

said Ed Greenberg, spokes-man for Association of American Railroads.

The railroads also have concerns about tank cars, but they are the opposite of the oil industry's worries. Railroads want the cars to be fitted with "thermal blan-kets" that wrap around the tank to prevent fires from spreading during a major derailment.

Yet another challenge to the rules could come from environmental groups and safety advocates who say the deadlines set by the Trans-portation Department are not fast enough.

The Sierra Club and For-est Ethics are among the groups considering a court appeal or an administrative request for transportation officials to reconsider the May 1 rule, said Kristen Boyles, an attorney with the environmental law firm Earthjustice.

Also of concern is a provision in the rules that exempts trains with fewer than 35 tank cars from meet-ing the tougher construc-tion requirement."You could have 34 crude oil cars on a train and none of them would have to meet the news standards," Boyles said.

BISMARCK — Barring a substantial drop in crude prices before the end of May, North Dakota’s oil industry probably won’t see a tax cut potentially worth almost half a billion dollars over the next six months, the state’s tax commissioner said Tuesday.

The so-called “large trig-ger” exemption will take effect June 1 if the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil at Cushing, Okla., averages below $55.09 a barrel for a fifth consecutive month in May.

But the average price so far this month was $59.46 at the close of markets Mon-day.

To trigger the exemption, the WTI price would have to average below $52.65 for the rest of the month, state Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger said.

The WTI price was hover-ing around $61 a barrel Tuesday afternoon. T

he longer it stays above the trigger price, the lower prices must dip for the rest of the month to hit the trig-ger, he said.

“So, at this point, it looks like we probably won’t,” he said.

BISMARCK — State of-ficials will meet this week to map out the timeline for the planning and construction of a new governor’s resi-dence, which was given the green light last month by lawmakers.

The Capitol Grounds Plan-ning Commission will meet at 1 p.m. Thursday inside

the state Capitol to review projects for the 2015-17 bien-nium. Chief among them will be setting the timeline for the new residence’s con-struction, which the head of facility management says he’d like to see completed by Thanksgiving 2017.

“Twenty months would be aggressive for a high-end home,” said facilities direc-tor John Boyle.

“Had a pleasant, relaxing day surrounded by family; it was great!”

“I worked a double, and every time I tried calling my mom she didn’t answer because she was working as well, so I finally texted her and said, ‘Mother I’m sorry we didn’t talk but I love and miss you more than anything and thank you for everything you do”

“Actually, I got to go home to Missouri for Mother’s Day. We, my wife and 7 kids, rented out this nice spot at the park, and had a little cookout. It was also my 5 year-old’s birthday so we got to celebrate Mother’s Day and his birthday together!”

“I went home and spent the day with my mom and step mom, then my dad took us all out for dinner.”

have to follow the Assis-tance Dogs International (ADI) standards and guide-lines when preparing a dog for their life partner.

“The dog has to be bullet-proof,” says Shelley Nan-nenga, development director for SDA.

One of the last tests the dogs are put through is they are required to stay put under a table while food is tossed to them. The dog is to show restraint and not sniff. The idea is, if the dog is chasing around food or a rabbit, per se, then the dog is not attending to the person they are to be look-ing after.

The dogs are customized to the person they are to be paired up with. If night ter-rors are a problem, the dog’s standard training requires them to turn on the light, go to the refrigerator and grab a bottle of water for their partner.

Nannenga also educated the group that attended on service dog etiquette such as not petting a service dog or inquiring the person with a dog “what is your disabil-ity?” Since there is not a federal or state law require-ment in North Dakota, a dog does not have to wear a vest to identify it is a service dog, so it is always best to ask be-fore touching a dog in public.

With a hefty price tag of $20,000 per dog, Nannenga is constantly trying to raise money, not only for the non-profit organization but for her clients as well. She says that the Veteran’s Associa-tion doesn’t cover the cost of a PTSD dog for veterans, so she tries to ease that burden on people who truly need it.

“I like that she’s so pas-sionate about it,” Hoffman said. She explained that

making a donation to the or-ganization went to the WSC Student Senate and passed. The school will be using money from the Student Life Fund to aid in helping SDA.

“That’s what the money is there for,” Weltikol said.

As finals week winds down, the students have the option

of coming and visiting with the dogs throughout the day. They are there to help the students lessen their stress during that week.

“I think it’s really going to help a lot of students,” Weltikol added.

Buddy and Elliot will be at WSC throughout finals week.

"The idea is to give them a basic understanding of what it takes to run a com-munity," said Chris Mack, government instructor. He has been running the program for Williston High School seniors the past 18 years. "As Mayor Klug said today, you need basic rules to prevent chaos."

Mack believes this gives the students much more insight into the workings of their government than a textbook or classroom discussion ever could. But it also has an inspiration factor that cannot be easily gauged.

"The city prosecutor went to Elks Youth Day with me

in 2001," Mack said. "These kids would have succeeded without me, of course, be-cause they are those kind of students, but it does kind of plant a seed."

The students said the day was fun, and they learned a lot of things they did not know. Powell, for example, hadn't realized how long some of the meetings were, or how in detail they could get.

He's just completed basic training at Fort Leonard-wood in Missouri and is heading off to Fort Sill, Oklahoma to learn to shoot artillery.

"This has been pretty cool," he said. "I didn't know how it all works, but it's been a really good opportu-

nity to see where everyone's tax dollars go."

Germundson is planning to take advantage of the free tuition at Williston State College. After that, he told the mayor, he’s going to wait and see what the world brings him.

Germundson said it was interesting how many dif-ferent people are needed to make city government work.

"There are so many differ-ent people who play a role in the community, from the guy who is testing the water at the treatment plant to the mayor, who is president of the city council. There are a whole lot of essential people."

Zach Powell sits with Williams County Sheriff Scott Busching on Tuesday.

IN THE MIDDLEPolice have arrested a

Williston man on suspicion of aggravated assault and burglary in connection with a domestic dispute.

Lee Boerschig, 37, was ar-rested after police responded to a reported disturbance at 1:11 a.m. in the 1800 block of 10th Ave. E.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, Boer-schig's wife Crystal had fled to the residence after an al-tercation with her husband earlier that evening. The inhabitant, Marvin V. Olson, refused Lee Boerschig entry, the affidavit says, but he drove to an alley behind the residence, climbed the fence and entered the residence through a back door.

Olson repeatedly asked Lee Boerschig to leave, but instead the man began swinging at Olson, strik-ing him in the head with a closed fist, the affidavit says. The altercation spilled out

onto the back patio, where Lee Boerschig pushed Olson to the ground.

Olson ran back into his residence, but was followed. Lee Boerschig then at-tempted to strangle him, the

affidavit says, and Olson lost consciousness.

A roommate, Dave Forro, ran upstairs from the base-ment to assist Olson and stop the attack until police arrived.

Today in History

Today is Wednesday, May 13, the 133rd day of 2015. There are 232 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On May 13, 1940, in his first speech as British prime minister, Winston Churchill told Parliament, “I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.”

On this date:

In 1607, English colo-nists arrived by ship at the site of what became the Jamestown settlement in Virginia (the colonists went ashore the next day).

In 1935, T.E. Lawrence was critically injured in a motorcycle accident in Dorset, England; he died six days later.

In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Act. The musical play “The Pajama Game” opened on Broadway.

In 1958, Vice President Richard Nixon and his wife, Pat, were spat upon and their limousine bat-tered by rocks thrown by anti-U.S. demonstrators in Caracas, Venezuela.

In 1973, in tennis’ first so-called “Battle of the Sexes,” Bobby Riggs defeated Margaret Court 6-2, 6-1 in Ramona, Cali-fornia. (Billie Jean King soundly defeated Riggs at the Houston Astrodome in September.)

In 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot and seriously wounded in St. Peter’s Square by Turkish assail-ant Mehmet Ali Agca.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORTo submit a letter to the editor, email Managing Editor Jerry Burnes

Figures on U.S. oil production are subject to much more uncertainty than the num-bers for oil stocks, refinery throughput and imports because the Energy Information Administration (EIA) has to rely on state-level data rather than its own surveys.

That could be about to change, however, because the EIA has received approval from the White House to launch its own manda-tory monthly survey of oil and condensate production.

The first of the new survey forms have gone out and respondents are beginning to submit data. It will take a few months for the agency to vet the results for quality but the first survey figures could be published in the next few months.

DATA COLLECTIONAll the information that the EIA currently collects and

publishes on U.S. oil refining, stocks, natural gas, pipe-lines, and other energy markets stems from the oil crisis in 1973/74.

The Federal Energy Administration (FEA) Act, which established the forerunner of the EIA, became law in May 1974, when the United States was still gripped by a sense of crisis over energy shortages caused by the Arab oil em-bargo.

The law granted sweeping powers to the FEA including the authority to "collect, assemble, evaluate and analyze energy information" to permit monitoring and the formula-tion of policy (PL 93-275).

Section 13(b) states: "All persons owning or operating facilities or business premises who are engaged in any phase of energy supply or major energy consumption shall make available to the administrator such information and periodic reports, records, documents, and other data ... as the administrator may prescribe by regulation or order."

The crisis of 1973/74 had taken a complacent public and politicians by surprise, even though the root causes of the shortages long predated the embargo. Many Americans blamed soaring prices on a perceived conspiracy among the big oil and gas companies to withhold supply from the markets.

"The news media embraced drama rather than facts, and Congress was dismayed to find that the federal government had no independent source of data as a check on the oil in-dustry," Richard Vietor of Harvard Business School wrote later ("Energy Policy in America Since 1945," 1984).

The FEA's information-collection powers were designed to give the federal government its own comprehensive in-formation on the state of energy production and markets.

But the sweeping powers generated an inevitable reac-tion, especially from small, independent oil and gas produc-ers. In 1976, Congress approved the Federal Energy Ad-ministration Act Amendments to curb some of the FEA's authority.

The amending legislation included a new Section 13(h), which stipulated that "the administrator shall take into account the size of businesses required to submit reports with the administrator so as to avoid, to the greatest extent practicable, overly burdensome reporting require-ments on small marketers and distributors of petroleum products and other small business concerns."

FORM FILLINGThe legislative history of the information-gathering pow-

ers highlights the central tension in accurately measuring energy supply, demand and stockpiles. Truly comprehen-sive information would require a blizzard of form filling and prompt fierce protests about the burden on respon-dents.

Like other agencies, such as the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the EIA relies on sampling and hopes that careful survey design will ensure the sample is representative of the much bigger universe of oil and gas producers, market-ers, refiners and pipeline companies while minimizing the reporting burden on smaller companies.

Sampling tends to concentrate on larger businesses that account for most oil and gas production, refining, stor-age and consumption, and have the resources to fill in the forms without too much effort.

Surveys work well for oil refining and imports because there are fewer than 150 refineries in the United States (and many companies own more than one refinery). The number of oil importers and stockholders is not much higher. So surveying oil imports, refinery throughput and stock levels is comparatively straightforward.

There are many more oil and gas producers: around 13,000 well operators, according to the Independent Pe-troleum Association of America. The bulk of oil and gas production comes from a small number of big operators, with the rest produced by a multitude of small firms, who fiercely dislike federal bureaucracy.

STATE RECORDSBelow the federal level, every state requires well opera-

tors to file production records so that taxes can be assessed and the well regulated properly. The EIA has relied on these records to compile its own estimates of national oil produc-tion without conducting its own survey.

The problem is these records are finalized with a long delay. "Over the past 26 months, final crude oil production for the 19 states and the Gulf of Mexico was reported, on average, more than nine months after the end of a month," the EIA explained in a briefing to trade associations in July 2014.

Texas, which accounts for more than one-third of na-tional production, takes on average 29 months to finalize its output numbers, and production typically increases 40 percent between the volume initially reported and the final figure.

Long delays in collecting state data did not cause major estimating errors in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when nationwide production was declining but only very slowly, and did not change much from one month or one year to the next.

But since 2008, national output has risen and been changing much more rapidly, and the data-collection de-lays are causing major estimation problems. The EIA has responded with plans to launch its own monthly survey of oil and condensate production.

John Kemp is a Reuters market analyst.

“As long as you’ve got enough money for gas, you can stay in the race,” says one veteran Iowa Republi-can operative of the sprawl-ing 2016 presidential field. “It’s going to take a long time for this to play out.”

Yes, there are tons of sto-ries in the press about this or that candidate raising zillions of dollars. But the truth is, a lot of Republican hopefuls -- an unprecedent-ed number -- will have the wherewithal to run at least bare-bones campaigns for many months to come. And some of them could help shape the race and its top issues, even if they never climb into the top tier.

Perhaps a single candi-date will break out with a big lead by the beginning of fall. But it’s more likely that won’t happen, which could lead to a series of results in the early 2016 contests that seem less than conclusive.

“In the last election, Mitt Romney and Rick Santo-rum tied in Iowa with 24.6 percent of the vote,” notes another GOP strategist. “You’re going to have a deeper field this time -- I would bet you anything that 20 percent wins Iowa, and maybe that 18 percent wins.”

If a losing candidate has enough money for gas -- especially if he’s getting a SuperPAC boost -- why pull out when the winner only got 18 percent of the vote?

Likewise, Romney won the New Hampshire primary with 39.3 percent of the vote. This time, “It looks to me like 25 percent could win New Hampshire -- maybe 22 percent,” notes the strategist.

Right now, there are 14 candidates in the GOP field currently being measured by the RealClearPolitics av-erage of polls: Bush, Rubio, Walker, Paul, Cruz, Hucka-

bee, Christie, Carson, Perry, Kasich, Santorum, Graham, Jindal and Fiorina, in order of their current standing in national surveys.

There are still others not in the average. Donald Trump, for example, is not in the average but is polling at five percent in the new WMUR Granite State poll of New Hampshire -- ahead of nine candi-dates who are in the average. Then there are John Bolton, George Pataki and others who are showing up at Re-publican campaign events.

There’s been a lot of discussion, publicly and behind the scenes, about how to conduct a debate with such a large field. The biggest Republican debate in the 2012 primary season was nine candidates; there were 10 GOP candidates in a few 2008 debates. There were eight Democrats in a 2008 debates, and nine in some 2004 showdowns. But no one has ever gotten near the number of GOP candi-dates today.

It’s generally assumed that a debate field of, say, 15 candidates would be far too large to handle in the traditional format. But organizers might go ahead and do it anyway, because the alternative -- cutting some candidates out before anyone has even gotten a chance to speak to the debate audiences -- would not sit well with a lot of Republicans. Why not just have a really long debate

-- there’s no reason it has to be limited to 90 minutes or two hours -- and give every-one his or her say?

“If they have any sense, they will start out with debates that are too big and try to winnow them out over the fall,” says the sec-ond operative. “If they start out with too much winnow-ing, there will be backlash from voters.”

Or maybe there’s some creative solution. Put 14 can-didates’ names in a hat, pick out half, and then the other half, and hold Debate A and Debate B at the same time. It would be a nightmare for organizers, but it would cover everybody. Or maybe try some sort of pod system with several smaller debates.

Jaded veterans of the political game will scoff at such plans. No matter how big the field is, they’ll say, the fact is the winner will come from a very small group -- Bush, Walker, Rubio -- and the rest is just show.

Maybe that’s true. But the show is important. Should, say, Bobby Jindal -- cur-rently polling at 1.3 percent in the RealClearPolitics average, putting him in 13th place -- be included in de-bates? Only if Republicans want to hear from the only candidate who has actually written a plan to replace Obamacare. Should Carly Fiorina -- 1 percent, in 14th place -- be included? Only if Republicans want to hear from a candidate who has run a Fortune 50 company.

The point is, there are a lot of smart candidates in the field. They are most likely going to be in the race for some time. Of course they should be part of the conversation.

Dear Annie: Last week, my husband and I were able to secure tickets to a movie that had been sold out for several weeks. We looked forward to a nice evening until the lady with the popcorn and icy drink sat next to me. As soon as the movie started, she be-gan to chomp and crunch on the popcorn, rattle the paper bag and jiggle the soda, over and over. I tried moving away as much as possible, but it didn’t help. Because the theater was so dark, I couldn’t tell wheth-er there were other seats available. I was stuck.

Very quietly, I asked her whether she was going to be finished eating soon, because the racket was very annoying. She said she likes to eat popcorn at the movies. Afterward, my husband told me I was rude and that eating during a movie should be allowed.

I didn’t expect to be “right,” but am I wrong to expect courtesy from those around me? Why can’t people enjoy their treats without disturbing everyone else? What do you say, Annie? -- Chomping in Florida

Dear Chomping: It is customary for people to eat popcorn and other snacks during a movie. But it is also incumbent on those in attendance not to be an

annoyance to the people around them. Crunchy stuff should be chewed quietly. No one needs to swish ice around in the cup. Your best bet would have been to

find an usher and ask for help locating another seat, but these days, ushers are hard to come by. You also could have complained to the manager after the mov-ie, which would not have changed the annoyance, but may have garnered you a comped ticket.

We know there are folks who believe they are enti-tled to behave however they wish, giving no thought to anyone else. Those are the same people who would be the first to complain were they on the receiving end of such rudeness. In public places, one has an obliga-tion to be considerate. It is selfish to do otherwise.

Dear Annie: I am writ-ing about “M.W.,” the retired teacher who didn’t want to go to Florida. I do not believe there was a writing campaign from The Villages. We don’t need to organize. We Villagers

are 102,000 strong and still growing.

When my husband retired 22 years ago, he wanted to move to Florida, and that was the last place I wanted to be. It was hot, unfamiliar and far from family. I had no interest in fishing, golf or crafts. I was ready to leave my husband there and see him only in the winter.

Well, we finally happened upon The Villages and fell in love. There are all price ranges available, and my addicted golfing friends tell me the golfing is amazing. But there is something for everyone: more clubs than you can imagine, a wonder-ful philharmonic orches-tra, choral groups and oth-er musical venues, as well as numerous opportunities for volunteering. I am a guardian ad litem working with teens in group homes, and I love it. I found the calling I didn’t know I had. We thrive on helping oth-ers here. The Villages is a wonderland for adults. -- A Happy Villager

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t damage your reputation by sharing pri-vate details. You will lose the trust of friends and family if you divulge information that someone trusted you to keep secret.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Refrain from being stub-born. There is usually more than one way to do things. If you share your ideas and philosophies with others, you will find new ways to conquer old challenges.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- An elderly friend or rela-tive will provide meaningful advice. Listen and learn. Le-gal, financial or health issues

have to be dealt with prompt-ly. Put your needs first.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Keep up with career innova-tions and trends. A business meeting or event will intro-duce you to prospective col-leagues. Joint ventures look promising. Move forward with confidence.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t resist change. The very matter that seems nega-tive now will turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Be pa-tient and follow through on your plans.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t wait for someone else to make the first move. If you resolve to be an active par-ticipant, you will learn much more than if you sit on the sidelines. Aim to finish first.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You don’t have to stick to the status quo. You have what it takes to improve mat-ters. A change in attitude or appearance will breathe new life into your routine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Volunteering your time or services is a great way to socialize with people who share your views and

values. Brainstorming with new colleagues could lead to advancement and adventure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can gain an advan-tage over your competition if you watch and learn. By being observant, you will be able to wait for the ideal opportunity to execute your plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You will meet someone who is persistent and intent on discovering your personal secrets. Don’t give in to pres-sure. Be firm and keep your thoughts to yourself. A short trip will provide inspiration.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You will encounter some-one who is drawn to you. To avoid a mishap, be very clear about where you stand and what you are willing to do. Don’t send the wrong mes-sage. Jealousy is apparent.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Love and romance are highlighted. Networking with friends and neighbors will open your eyes to an intriguing new field. A lucra-tive partnership is in the offing.

Damon Runyon, a news-paperman and author who died in 1946, said, “It may be that the race is not al-ways to the swift, nor the battle to the strong -- but that is the way to bet.”

No-trump contracts are races. Both sides are try-ing to establish tricks, and the first to succeed usually wins -- but only if once those winners can be cashed, the player holding them is either on lead or can take a timely trick.

How is that relevant to this deal? South is in three no-trump, and West leads the spade eight. How should the play go?

South starts with eight top tricks: one spade (given the lead), four diamonds and three clubs. Maybe clubs will break 3-3, but that is unlikely. If the clubs are not 3-3, South will have to knock out the heart ace. But then maybe East will run his spade suit.

What should happen at trick one?

East needs to realize that if West has led a single-ton, the defenders have no chance. Also, if West holds two spades, declarer has only one spade stopper. And there is an important principle: If declarer has one trick in the suit you are trying to establish, make him take it as quickly as possible -- trick one is not too early.

Here, East should play an encouraging spade nine at trick one. South will win, try the clubs, and either cash out for down one or turn to hearts and lose one heart, one club and five spades for down three.

Note that if East wins the first trick, declarer romps home with an overtrick or two.

BY ANNA BURLESONFORUM NEWS SERVICE

GRAND FORKS — Amber Finley protested the Univer-sity of North Dakota’s use of the old Fighting Sioux nickname when she was a student and then marched in a Walk For Change on campus years later as an alumna.

The walk was in response to two racially insensitive incidents at UND about a year ago, and as the school moves toward picking a new nickname and attempts to address campus diver-sity, Finley said some of the negative comments she hears and reads bring her back to the old days.

"You feel the animosity and it retriggers a lot of those feelings, especially for me, when I was on cam-pus," she said. "You don't feel comfortable. You don't feel welcome."

Finley, who is the execu-tive director of the diversity advocate Northstar Coun-cil, and her sister Lisa Casa-rez, a UND student, are both enrolled tribal members. They were at UND's Ameri-can Indian Student Services Center Monday, which was quiet and calm as students studied for finals.

Both said this was a big change from the hustle and bustle of last year as they rallied for the Walk For Change.

"We come here to learn and focus and it kind of dis-tracted from that," Casarez said.

B.J. Rainbow was still a graduate student when the Walk For Change took place. Now as a recruiter for the school and a Sioux tribal member, he said things haven't changed.

Every year he feels he has to fight for funding for American Indian events and every year he still faces ignorance of his culture.

"It's not the students' fault but it's a community, a so-ciety, a collective, where if

we did have diversity as a normal conversation people wouldn't be so jumpy and nervous when we talk about those things," he said.

Finley said UND's deci-sion to adopt a new name and logo after its old Fight-ing Sioux name was retired and hiring an administra-tor to oversee and encour-age diversity have all been positive changes, but that the community still has a long way to go.

She called the Walk For Change a catalyst and said the experience was in-credibly rewarding as she marched with her children and other family members.

"We didn't want this to be a protest, we wanted it to be a statement," she said.

WORKING FOR CHANGESandra Mitchell began

her tenure as UND's associ-ate vice president for di-versity and inclusion soon after the walk, but she had accepted the job a month prior and her position had been in the works for long before that.

She admitted feeling a little anxious coming to UND shortly after a soror-ity hung a banner some deemed racist and students wore shirts depicting a beer-bonging Native Ameri-can head with the words "Siouxper Drunk" at Spring-fest.

"But now i feel like the community is really ready for change," she said. "Certainly my coming on board even before anything happened meant the com-munity was ready to change in significant ways. I feel much more positive about that actually happening now almost one year later that we have some activi-ties going, there's a lot more awareness about my posi-tion and the importance of diversity on campus and what it means to be an in-clusive community."

Mitchell said she spends her days meeting with stu-dents, attending or leading student activities about diversity or speaking at events in the community.

"We are all diverse and we all play a role in build-ing an inclusive commu-nity," she said. "It's not just my job.

Finley praised Mitchell's work, saying she attended many events put on by the American Indian Student Services and participated for the entirety of the pro-grams, something she per-sonally appreciated.

But Rainbow said people have mixed views about Mitchell's position, with some seeing it as merely another layer to protect UND's upper administra-tion.

BISMARCK — North Da-kota's economy continued on its record-breaking roll in 2014 with taxable sales and purchases doubling since 2010 to more than $28.2 bil-lion, but weaker numbers are expected for the first quarter of this year as a re-sult of reduced oil drilling activity.

The $28.2 billion repre-sents a 10.8 percent increase over the $25.5 billion in tax-able sales and purchases in 2013. It’s also more than double the $14.1 billion total in 2010 and well above the 2 percent rate of inflation last year, state Tax Commis-sioner Ryan Rauschenberger said.

By comparison, the state saw year-over-year growth of about 38.9 percent in 2011, 28.7 percent in 2012 and 0.5 percent in 2013.

“We’re maintaining these years of unprecedented growth … and now we’re growing on top of that still,” he said.

Six of the state’s eight major metropolitan and mic-ropolitan areas experienced growth, led by Dickinson at nearly 19.4 percent. That came as no surprise to Coo-per Whitman, executive di-rector of the Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce.

“We absolutely had a fan-tastic year. Everyone talks about a slowdown. There’s clearly been a bit of a slow-down, but now with con-struction season ramping up, there isn’t much of one now,” he said.

Dickinson added new food service, retail and big-box stores last year – including a Menards home improvement store that opened in January 2014 – and the double-digit increase in taxable sales will make the city even more attractive to potential new businesses, Whitman said.

“To see that kind of growth can only benefit the community, giving us more choices,” he said.

Taxable sales and purchas-es increased by about 8.7 percent in Williston, 4.1 per-cent in Fargo, 0.38 percent in Grand Forks, 0.36 percent in Minot and 0.21 percent in Bismarck. Jamestown and Wahpeton saw decreases of about 4.8 percent and 3.6 per-cent, respectively.

Ten of the 15 major indus-try sectors saw growth last year, led by an 18.4 percent, $806.4 million increase in the mining and oil extraction industry and a $955 million, 14.9 percent increase in the wholesale trade industry.

Mild weather in the fourth quarter provided favorable conditions not only for oil drilling but also for shop-ping, contributing to a 5 percent, $329 million bump in the retail trade industry, Rauschenberger said.

“Whenever we have good winter weather, we tend to have a better report than ex-pected,” he said.

Of the 200 largest cities in North Dakota, 82 reported increases in taxable sales and purchases over the previous year, led percent-age-wise by a 198 percent increase in Burlington, about five miles northwest of Minot. Decreases were reported by 116 cities com-pared with 2013.

Dunn County had the highest percentage increase among counties, at 62.4 per-cent.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sens. Heidi Heitkamp, D.-N.D., and Republican Lisa Murkowski of Alaska plan to introduce a bipartisan bill to-day to lift the ban on Ameri-can crude oil exports.

Heitkamp, in an interview Tuesday with Forum News Service, called the 1970s-era ban “antiquated” and said it inhibits American competi-tiveness.

U.S. Sens. Heidi Heitkamp, D.-N.D., in an interview Tuesday with Forum News Service, called the 1970s-era ban “antiquated” and said it inhibits American competi-tiveness.

“We believe the time has come for Congress to weigh in and protect our energy re-naissance,” Heitkamp said.

North Dakota would ben-efit from lifting the ban be-cause U.S. refiners that can process light, sweet crude oil such as Bakken crude are maxed out.

“There is a desperate need to open up the international markets for North Dakota crude,” Heitkamp said.

Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., also joined the senators in introducing the bill.

“Lifting the decades-old law banning U.S. producers from selling their product on the world market will help produce more energy, grow our economy and create more jobs, both in North Da-kota and across the nation,” Hoeven said in a statement.

Other sponsors are Sens. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., John McCain, R-Ariz., Bob Corker, R-Tenn., Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., James Risch, R-

The proposed legislation seeks to authorize crude and condensate oil produced in the U.S. to be exported on the same basis as petroleum exports. It includes a provi-sion that would allow the president to prohibit oil ex-ports for reasons of national security.

Heitkamp said she and Murkowski, the ranking member on the Senate Com-mittee on Energy & Natural Resources who toured the Bakken in the fall of 2012, are working to build bipartisan support for the legislation.

In addition to opening up U.S. crude to new markets, lifting the ban would pro-mote energy security for the

U.S. and its allies, Heitkamp said.

“It would also encourage our friends and allies to im-port or leverage American oil to lessen the influence and dominant energy positions of unstable countries like Iran, Russia, or Venezuela,” Heit-kamp said while speaking on the Senate floor earlier this month. “We have a real op-portunity to make a needed change that supports our country, our economy and our security.”

North Dakota state legisla-tors urged members of Con-gress to lift the export ban in a concurrent resolution they approved during the recent session. Legislators directed that the resolution be sent to every member of Congress.

Officials work at the site of a derailed Amtrak train in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania May 13, 2015. Rescue workers searched through the debris on Wednesday for more victims of an Amtrak passenger train wreck in Philadelphia that killed six people and injured scores others as investigators sought to determine the cause of the derailment.

BY GEOFF MULVIHILLASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Federal investigators arrived Wednesday to de-termine why an Amtrak train jumped the tracks in a wreck that killed at least six people, injured dozens and plunged screaming pas-sengers into darkness and chaos.

The mayor said some of the 238 passengers remained unaccounted for, raising fears the death toll could rise.

Train 188, a Northeast Regional, was en route from Washington to New York with 238 passengers and five crew members when it derailed as it was rounding a sharp curve in the city's working-class Port Richmond section shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said.

Passengers had to scram-ble through the windows of toppled cars to escape. One of the seven cars was severe-ly mangled.

The accident closed the nation's busiest rail cor-ridor between New York and Washington as fed-eral investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board arrived to be-gin examining the twisted wreckage, the tracks and the signals.

"It is an absolute disas-trous mess," Mayor Michael Nutter said. "I've never seen anything like this in my life."

Nutter confirmed five deaths. Temple University Hospital said Wednesday a person died there overnight from a chest injury.

More than 140 people went to hospitals to be evaluated or treated for injuries that included burns and broken bones.

Amtrak said the cause of the derailment was not known.

Passenger Jillian Jor-gensen, 27, was seated in the quiet car — the second pas-senger car — and said the train was going "fast enough for me to be worried" when it began to lurch to the right.

The train derailed, the

lights went out and Jor-gensen was thrown from her seat. She said she "flew across the train" and landed under some seats that had apparently broken loose from the floor.

Jorgensen, a reporter for The New York Observer who lives in Jersey City, New Jersey, said she wrig-gled free as fellow passen-gers screamed. She saw one man lying still, his face cov-ered in blood, and a woman with a broken leg.

She climbed out an emer-gency exit window, and a firefighter helped her down a ladder to safety.

"It was terrifying and aw-ful, and as it was happening it just did not feel like the kind of thing you could walk away from, so I feel very lucky," Jorgensen said in an email to The Associated Press. "The scene in the car I was in was total disarray, and people were clearly in a great deal of pain."

Early Wednesday, authori-ties on the scene seemed to be girding for a long haul. Several portable toilets were delivered for investi-gators and recovery work-ers. Heavy equipment was brought in, and Amtrak workers in hard hats walked around the wreck.

All seven train cars, in-cluding the engine, were in "various stages of disarray," Nutter said. He said there were cars that were "com-pletely overturned, on their side, ripped apart."

An AP Press manager, Paul Cheung, was on the train and said he was watch-ing a video on his laptop when "the train started to decelerate, like someone had slammed the brake."

"Then suddenly you could see everything starting to shake," he said. "You could see people's stuff flying over me."

Cheung said another pas-senger urged him to escape from the back of his car, which he did. He said he saw passengers trying to get out through the windows of cars tipped on their sides.

"The front of the train is

really mangled," he said. "It's a complete wreck. The whole thing is like a pile of metal."

Gaby Rudy, an 18-year-old from Livingston, New Jersey, was headed home from George Washington University. She said she was nearly asleep when she sud-denly felt the train "fall off the track."

The next few minutes were filled with broken glass and smoke, said Rudy, who suffered minor injuries. "They told us we had to run away from the train in case another train came," she said.

Another passenger, Daniel Wetrin, was among more than a dozen people taken to a nearby elementary school.

"I think the fact that I walked off kind of made it even more surreal because a lot of people didn't walk off," he said. "I walked off as if, like, I was in a movie. There were people standing around, people with bloody faces. There were people, chairs, tables mangled about in the compartment ... pow-er cables all buckled down as you stepped off the train."

Several people, including one man complaining of neck pain, were rolled away on stretchers. Others wob-bled as they walked away or were put on buses. An elderly woman was given oxygen.

The Port Richmond neigh-borhood is a mix of ware-houses, industrial buildings and homes.

The area where the wreck happened is known as Frankford Junction. It is not far from the site of one of the nation's deadliest train acci-dents: the 1943 derailment of the Congressional Limited, from Washington to New York, which killed 79 people.

Amtrak's busy Northeast Corridor between Washing-ton and Boston serves 11.6 million passengers a year.

The mayor, citing the mangled train tracks and downed wires, said: "There's no circumstance under which there would be any Amtrak service this week through Philadelphia."

SEATTLE (AP) — Royal Dutch Shell says it has a val-id lease for Seattle terminal space and a tight timeline to prepare its fleet for explor-atory oil drilling in Arctic waters, so the company plans to move in its rigs de-spite protests from activists and a request from the port that it wait.

About a dozen protesters in kayaks met one of two drill rigs Shell plans to use, the 514-foot-long Noble Dis-coverer, as it arrived Tues-day evening in Everett on its way south to Seattle. The second, the 400-foot-long Po-lar Pioneer, has been parked at an Olympic Peninsula port but is expected to arrive in Seattle later this week to larger protests.

Shell's plan for explorato-ry drilling this summer in the Chukchi Sea northwest of Alaska cleared a major hurdle Monday when the federal Bureau of Ocean En-ergy Management approved it. The bureau reviewed thousands of comments from the public, Alaska Na-tive organizations, and state and federal agencies.

The oil company still must get other permits, and oppo-nents said they aren't giving up. They focused Tuesday on the Port of Seattle's de-cision earlier this year to grant a two-year, $13 million lease for terminal space to Foss Maritime, a local com-pany that's working with Shell to prepare its fleet for the Arctic.

The city has said the ter-minal can't be used as a base for drill rigs because the port's land-use permit is for cargo operations.

Foss Maritime said it will appeal and forge ahead with its plans in the meantime. The Port of Seattle Commis-sion on Tuesday voted to ap-peal, too, and to ask Foss to urge Shell to delay mooring oil exploration vessels pend-

ing a legal review."I now hope Shell will re-

spect the wishes of the Port, the City and the community at large, and not bring an offshore drilling rig into El-liott Bay," Seattle Mayor Ed Murray said Tuesday in a statement.

A Shell spokesman said the company understands the request for more time but its plans have not changed.

"Given the short windows in which we have to work in the Arctic, and our shared view that Shell's lease and the supporting contract with Foss is valid, we have made the decision to utilize Terminal 5 under the terms originally agreed upon by the parties involved — in-cluding the Port of Seattle," Shell spokesman Curtis Smith said in an email. "Rig movement will commence in the days to come."

Foss also was adamant. Company President Paul Stevens said the port com-mission knew what activi-ties would be occurring at the terminal when it granted the lease.

"We're going to proceed," he said.

Activists who don't want Shell to drill for oil in the Arctic turned out at the nearly five-hour commis-sion meeting.

"Drilling for oil in the pre-cious Arctic is not on the right side of history," said Richard Hodgin, a drilling opponent from Seattle.

The meeting drew a range of voices, including several people who traveled from Alaska. Representatives of Alaska Native corporations argued that the environmen-talists opposing the drill-ing don't understand the economic needs of Alaska's Natives.

John Hopson, mayor of Wainwright, Alaska, a com-munity of Inupiat whalers, said he traveled two days to speak for his allotted two minutes.

"The Arctic isn't just a place of polar bears," he said. "It's a home, my home."

Labor groups represent-ing workers at the Port of Seattle noted the 400-plus jobs that the Foss lease has already brought to the city, while opponents argued that there are no resources avail-able to respond to a major spill in the Chukchi Sea.

Dickinson downs Williston, 4-1Midgets get the win despite only 1 hitBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — The last

week couldn’t have gone much worse for the Williston High School baseball team.

Coming off consecutive region losses to Mandan and Jamestown last weekend, the Wil-liston offense could only muster one run Tuesday afternoon in a 4-1 loss at Dickinson.

Williston scored its lone run of the contest in the sec-ond inning.

Dickinson countered with a pair of runs in its half of

the third. The Midgets also plated

single runs in the fourth and fifth innings.

Thad Thompson pitched into the third inning and was tagged with the loss for WIl-liston. George Callan and Brett Engen also

saw action on the mound for Williston. With the loss, the Coyotes (14-12, 5-8) fall to sixth place in the West Region standings.

Williston won the nightcap over Dickinson, 6-2.

WHS enters postseason as the No. 3 seed, will play MandanBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — The Willis-ton High School girls tennis team will open the West Re-gion tournament Thursday in Minot.

The Lady Coyotes (11-4) are coming off one of their most successful seasons in recent years, and will be the No. 3 seed in the team portion of the tournament.

Williston, the No. 3 seed, will open tournament play against Mandan in a match set for 10 a.m.

The Lady Coyotes defeated Mandan 9-0 in the regular-season finale Friday at the

Davidson Ten-nis Complex.

However, Williston coach Wade Stueve says Mandan was

missing its No. 1 player that day, and the rest of the lineup had to be bumped out a spot.

But in a 3-2 format, Stueve says it be a different match.

“It will be tighter is a 3-2 format,” the Williston coach said. “We are going to have our hands full.”

That means Williston will have to use one its JV play-ers in Thursday’s match. Stueve says that nod will likely go to Bella Sogard.

Bismarck Century will be the top seed, while Minot, who edged Williston in a 5-4 decision last month, will be the No. 2 seed.

“I like our draw,” Stueve said. “But we got to show up and play.”

The top four teams will qualify for state. Individu-ally, the top eight players in each of the three singles positions along the top eight doubles teams in the two doubles positions will qualify for state.

“I think we have a really good chance to be in the championship,” said Willis-

ton junior Keyanna Enget. “If we keep playing like we have.”

Playing as one of the top teams in the West has been kind of a different role for Williston.

“It’s been kind of nerve-racking, I’m not going to lie,” said Williston sopho-more Bethanie Pippin. “We’ve had a good season, and we’ve been pretty con-sistent.”

On Tuesday, Williston was notified that the first day of the tournament will be played indoors, due to rain in the forecast.

How much of a difference is there playing outdoors as opposed to indoors?

“There’s a great differ-ence,” said Williston junior Kaylen Barstad. “Indoors, you aren’t being affected by the sun or the wind.”

What will be the key to

Williston’s success?“We’ve got to stay up and

know that it’s not over until its over,” said Williston soph-omore Caitlyn Hunter.

Stueve says playing to the best of its ability will be key to Williston’s success.

“We’ve got to consistently cut down on the errors,” he said. “And keep the ball in play.”

The tournament will run through Saturday.

Williston High drops twin bill to Bishop RyanBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — The Bishop Ryan Lady Lions are one of the best softball teams in the state.

So when the Lady Lions came to Dakota Parkway Tuesday afternoon, the Williston Lady Coyotes were bound to have their work cut out for them-selves.

And while Bishop Ryan left with a 4-0 and 15-3 win over Lady Coyotes, Wil-liston coach Jim Klein was pretty pleased with how his team held its own.

“We did a lot of good things,” he said of the first game. “We played OK.”

And while the second got away from Williston, Klein says it was a lot closer than the final score indicates.

“It was a little closer than that,” he said.

In the opener, the Lady Lions scored three times in

the fifth and one in the sixth to secure the win.

Grace Erickson was tagged with the loss for Williston, while Hannah Stewart earned the win for Williston.

Claire Erickson went 2-for-3 at the plate for Williston, while Haleigh McKenzie and

Katie Nice each went 1-for-3.

In the second game, Bishop Ryan scored three times in the sec-ond inning, and added five more in the fourth.

Bishop Ryan also added four runs in the fifth and three in the fifth.

Hannah McKenzie was the losing pitcher for Williston.

Michelle Stewart finished 2-for-3 at the plate with a double, triple and three RBIs.

Brooklyn Lerbakken fin-ished 2-for-2 for Williston.

Kinsler’s hit lifts Tigers over Twins

DETROIT (AP) — Ian Kin-sler’s RBI single in the bot-tom of the 10th inning lifted the Detroit Tigers to a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.

Anthony Gose hit a one-out double off Ryan Pressly (1-1), and Kinsler followed with a flare that dropped into shallow center field.

Angel Nesbitt (1-1) pitched the 10th for his first career win.

J.D. Martinez homered for the Tigers in the fourth inning, and Minnesota tied it in the eighth on a sacrifice fly by Torii Hunter.

Alfredo Simon allowed a run and six hits in 7 2-3 innings for the Tigers. He struck out six and walked one.

Minne-sota’s Kyle Gibson was impressive as well, allowing a run and five hits in seven innings. He struck out six.

The Twins were outscored 22-1 in a season-opening three-game series at Detroit last month, and Tuesday wasn’t much better offen-sively.

Minnesota looked poised to take an early lead in the second when Trevor Plouffe walked and Kurt Suzuki doubled. Plouffe was held at third with no outs, but Simon struck out Kennys Vargas, Eduardo Escobar and Aaron Hicks to keep the Twins off the scoreboard.

Gibson had not allowed a run in either of his previous two starts, and the Tigers didn’t do much against him until Martinez lined an opposite-field drive over the wall in right in the fourth for his seventh homer of the year.

Vargas led off the fifth with a double and went to third on a groundout. But a flyout by Hicks wasn’t deep enough to score the run.

Fieiding the ground ballA pair of Williston youngsters converge on a ground ball during the Williston Parks and Recreation District’s 7- and 8-year-old softball league at Western Star Softball Complex.

Mayweather-Pacquiao sets PPV mark with 4.4 million buysLAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd May-

weather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao proved a box office smash, even if their welterweight title fight didn’t live up to the hype.

The May 2 fight obliterated the pay-per-view record, with 4.4 million buys generating more than $400 million in revenue. With a live gate of nearly $72 million and other revenue, the bout grossed more than $600 million and likely made Mayweather more than

$200 million.Showtime and HBO officials reported

the whopping PPV figures Tuesday, saying the fight broke the previous re-cord of 2.48 million buys generated by Mayweather’s 2007 fight with Oscar De La Hoya by nearly 2 million buys.

It also nearly tripled the record $150 mil-lion in pay-per-view revenue generated by Mayweather vs. Canelo Alvarez in 2013.

“We did not anticipate this number of buys,” said Mark Taffet, who heads

PPV operations for HBO. “It reinforces the notion that when you give the fans the fights they demand, they always respond.”

Mayweather was the big winner both in the fight and at the bank. He was guaranteed 60 percent of the net reve-nue to the promotion, while Pacquiao’s camp got the remaining 40 percent.

The total figures to be around $400 million after satellite TV and cable systems take their cut.

MLB pumps up ball security after Tom Brady flap

NEW YORK (AP) — Even before Tom Brady was penal-ized, Major League Baseball boosted its prevent defense.

As part of a new security plan this season to further safeguard game balls, an MLB representative now watches them get carried by a clubhouse assistant from the umpires’ room to the field.

And if the supply of eight dozen or so runs low during a game, an MLB security person is sent to retrieve more.

In the past, a ball boy or ball girl did those jobs alone.

“We can’t deflate ‘em,” Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia said Sunday. “It’s precautionary, I guess.”

MLB said many changes in the pumped-up policy for ball security and storage were discussed by equip-ment managers last Decem-ber at the winter meetings. That was more than a month before Brady and the New England Patriots were ac-cused of deflating footballs in the AFC championship game.

MLB said it was aware of the Patriots’ situation as it put the procedures into ef-fect on opening day at every stadium.

Brady was suspended for four games by the NFL on Monday for his role in the scandal. The Patriots were fined $1 million and also lost two future draft picks.

As for any copycat in the majors, Boston Red Sox man-ager John Farrell joked that it was unlikely.

“Baseballs are solid,” he said.

There have been plenty of pitchers who have tried to doctor balls, with mixed results.

Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry made a living of throwing greased-up balls that could do tricks. Yankees righty Michael Pineda was suspended last year for us-ing pine tar to get a better grip, Joe Niekro was penal-ized nearly three decades ago for carrying an emery board to scuff the ball.

Nothing like taking the air out of them, though.

Former English Premier League and World Cup referee Howard Webb, now

the techni-cal director of the body that over-sees match officials in English soc-cer, said he made a point

of checking the ball before it got used.

“I knew if I didn’t and a player complained about the pressure of the ball, I wouldn’t be able to say with certainty that the ball was fine,” Webb said. “So I would always check it and make sure it was in that range that I knew players would accept.”

The balls that Rawlings supplies to major league clubs are fairly standard.

“Obviously, there’s not as much that you can do to baseballs,” Los Angeles An-gels pitcher C.J. Wilson said. “I mean, you can’t change the density of the baseball at any point — unless you dunk them in water. Then they’re going to be 9 ounces, and everyone’s going to blow their arms out.”

Game balls weigh between 5 ounces and 5 1/4.

“If you’re playing on turf and a guy hits a screaming one-hopper to the shortstop, it’s going to have a huge scuff on it. Certain pitch-ers can create an advantage with that, so that’s why they throw those baseballs out,” Wilson said.

NFL investigator says he found direct evidence against BradyFindings would have been strong enough to convince a juryBY RACHEL COHENTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK (AP) — The lawyer who investigated the New England Patriots insisted Tuesday that he found direct, not just circumstantial, evidence to show quarterback Tom Brady knew team employees were deflating foot-balls.

Miffed by criticism from Brady’s agent, Ted Wells decided to take the unusual step of holding a conference call with reporters, a day after the NFL suspended the Super Bowl MVP for the season’s first four games based on the report.

Wells said his findings would have been strong enough to convince a jury under the “preponderance of evidence” standard, which is used in many civil cases.

Wells released his report last Wednesday, asserting it was “more probable than not” that Brady “was at least gener-ally aware” of plans by two team employees to prepare the balls to his liking, below the league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square inch.

His voice frequently rising Tuesday, Wells testily rebutted assertions from Don Yee, Brady’s agent, questioning Wells’ independence because his firm does other business with the NFL.

“What drove the decision in this re-

port is one thing: It was the evidence,” Wells said. “I could not ethically ignore the import and relevancy of those text messages and the other evidence.”

Wells specifically mentioned two series of text exchanges between officials’ locker room attendant Jim McNally and equipment assistant John Jastrem-ski. In one, McNally referred to himself as “the Deflator” and joked about going to ESPN. In another, Jastremski men-tioned speaking to Brady the previous night, saying the quarterback knew McNally was stressed out by needing to deflate the balls.

“That is not circum-stantial evdence,” Wells said. “That is two of the participants in a scheme discussing what has taken place.”

On Thursday, Yee had called Wells’ report “a significant and

terrible disappointment,” suggesting that it “reached a conclusion first, and then determined so-called facts later.”

Along with denying any bias, Wells derided the idea that the NFL wanted the investigation to implicate a quarterback he described as “one of the most popular, iconic players in the league.”

“That does not make sense,” Wells said. “It’s a ridiculous allegation.”

Wells has conducted several other high-profile sports investigations in recent years, including the NFL report on the Miami Dolphins bullying scan-dal. To Yee’s assertion that he omit-

ted key statements from Brady, Wells challenged the agent to release his full transcript of the interview.

“Nothing, I guarantee you, in his notes would make any difference in my

decision,” he said.He also disputed Yee’s

characterization of the investigation as a “sting,” noting that NFL officials initially didn’t take the Colts’ complaints serious-ly during January’s AFC Championship game.

The Patriots wound up routing Indianapolis 45-7 that day, then went on to beat the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl 28-24 for Brady’s fourth title. In the quarterback’s only public comments since the report’s release, he said that the scandal hasn’t taken away from the team’s accomplish-ments.

Brady plans to appeal his four-game suspension. The Patriots were penalized $1 million — matching the largest fine in league history — and docked two draft picks. Owner Bob Kraft has declared his “unconditional support” for his two-time MVP quar-terback.

Wells said the Patriots were coopera-tive, with two major exceptions: declin-ing a request for a second interview with McNally, and Brady’s refusal to turn over phone records.

Wells said he had told Brady and Yee he did not need to see his phone and would have accepted a list of communi-cations.

Wells, who said he bills by the hour, wouldn’t estimate how much his investigation cost the NFL but said “no question it’s in the millions of dollars.”

‘What drove the decision in this report is one thing. It was the evidence. I could not ethically ignore the import and relevancy of those text mes-sage.’

LeBron scores 38, Cavs down Bulls 106-101 in heated Game 5

CLEVELAND (AP) — With the “Big 3” reduced to the “Banged-Up 2,” LeBron James again showed why he’s Cleveland’s one and only.

James scored 38 points, Kyrie Irving added 25 and the Cavaliers held off Chi-cago’s charge in the fourth quarter for a 106-101 victory over the Bulls on Tuesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their testy Eastern Confer-ence semifinal.

Showing no ill ef-fects from a sprained left ankle, James added 12 rebounds, six assists, three steals, three blocks and didn’t have a turnover in 41 min-utes to ensure the Cavs will again play at home this season.

“LeBron was just outstanding, ev-ery element of the game,” Cavs coach David Blatt said. “You can’t pick a thing he didn’t do at the highest level.”

Cleveland can wrap up the best-of-seven series and advance to the conference finals for the first time since 2009 with a win in Game 6 on Thursday night back at United Center in Chicago, where the teams exchanged buzzer-beating victories last weekend.

The drama wasn’t quite as high in Game 5, but it was close and it was intense.

Jimmy Butler scored 29 and Mike Dunleavy 19 for Chicago. Derrick Rose scored 16, 12 in the first quarter, but the star guard shot just 2 of 15 in the final

three quarters and aggra-vated a shoulder “stinger” he sustained in Game 1.

Fueled by an altercation that led to the ejection of Chicago’s Taj Gibson, the Cavs led by 17 with 6:09 left and then had to hold off a furious comeback by the Bulls, who got within 101-99 on Butler’s 3-pointer with 1:18 left.

Cleveland, though, got a huge offensive rebound by

Iman Shumpert be-fore Irving, playing on a sprained right foot and sore left knee, made four free throws in the final 17 seconds.

The Bulls were missing big man Pau Gasol, who sat out his second straight game with a strained left hamstring and didn’t sound confi-dent before Game 5 that he’d be ready by

Thursday.They also played the final

10:25 without Gibson, eject-ed for kicking Cavs guard Matthew Dellavedova. Gibson shoved Dellavedova to the floor and then kicked the scrappy backup, who angered the Bulls forward by clamping his legs around Gibson’s. Players on both teams exchanged shoves and pushes before the officials got things under control.

Gibson could be facing further discipline from the league, and Dellavedova, too, might get slapped for his role.

“I was surprised (to be ejected),” Gibson said.
