BY JAMES MACPHERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS BISMARCK — North Dakota’s robust economy, growing popula- tion and more money dedicated to cracking down on crime has led to a record number of people on parole and probation, putting additional strain on the officers who must monitor them, officials say. “Absolutely, we’re struggling,” said Leslie “Barney” Tomanek, director of the state Department of Corrections’ parole and probation division. The number of people on parole or probation in North Dakota was 6,843 late last week, up more than 800 people from the same time one year ago and more than 2,050 since 2010, Tomanek said. More state and federal money dedicated to fighting crime — es- pecially in western North Dakota’s oil- producing region — has helped fund troopers, police and sheriffs’ departments and the court system. But parole and probation officers haven’t kept pace. Out-of-state-felons and people on parole and probation released from the North Dakota prison system are either coming to North Dakota or staying because of the state’s strong economy and thousands of unfilled jobs, officials say. “We anticipate the numbers will continue to go up, with what’s going on in the courts and the additional law enforcement,” Tomanek said. There are 75 officers who super- vise offenders in North Dakota, an average of about 90 cases per officer, Tomanek said. An ideal caseload would be about 65 offenders per of- ficer, he said. In Williston, in the heart of North Dakota’s oil patch, the caseload is about 130-to-1, said Lloyd Haa- genson, who heads the officer and supervises two other parole and probation officers. “With more judges and more law enforcement, who gets that in the BY RENÉE JEAN WILLISTON HERALD WILLISTON — Free lunches are hard to come by.

BY RENÉE JEAN WILLISTON HERALD WILLISTON — He doesn’t consider himself a “tree-hugger,” but you may have seen Bruce Johnson around town recently doing just that. Williston’s city forester for the last 15 years years, has been helping tie in- formational posters onto ash trees for Emerald Ash Borer Week, so named by gubernatorial proclamation. The emerald ash borer has no known predators in North America and has killed millions of ash trees over the past decade in the United States. So far, North Dakota doesn’t have any of these tree-killers, and keeping it that way is the whole point of the educa- tional campaign Johnson is participat- ing in. The campaign was developed by the North Dakota Department of Agri- culture, North Dakota Forest Service, and the North Dakota State University Extension Service. Forty-seven other cities and various state parks in North Dakota are making similar efforts. “Right now, the ash borer is in the St. Paul, Minnesota area, and they are losing thousands of trees a year,” Johnson said. Emerald ash borers don’t care how small or large the ash tee is, Johnson said. An infestation can kill entire neighborhoods of ash trees. Williston’s last tree inventory was in 1981 and showed that the city’s landscapes are 25 percent ash trees. Johnson is hoping that survey can be updated soon. Slowing the spread of the pest is vital to developing new and better defenses. New and improved pesticides and application methods are being developed, as are native predators that kill the ash borer by laying eggs in its larvae. The longer it takes the pest to move into new territory, the more likely a method can be developed to get rid of it. On their own, emerald ash borers move very slowly. But they can quickly be transported great distances by such things as firewood or nursery stock. Firewood has served as a vector for other diseases, too, Johnson added, such as Dutch elm disease. As such, it’s vitally important to buy firewood locally, and to ensure it’s been properly treated and inspected. In addition to the informational post- ers being put on ash trees throughout the state, about 180 bug traps are being placed in cities, state parks, recreation areas, campgrounds, rest stops and county fairgrounds to monitor for emerald ash borers. These traps are two-foot-long, three-sided and colored purple. They are baited with material attractive to ash borers. Anyone encountering such a trap should leave it in place. The traps are part of a nationwide survey involving 49 states. More details about the emerald ash borer and the state’s participation in the survey project are available at www.nd.gov/ndda or www.ndinvasives. org. The ash borer is a non-native pest that was brought to the United States from Asia aboard some infested ship- ping crates. It was first identified in 2002 in southeast Michigan and Wind- sor, Ontario. The insect has no known predators in North America and has been eating its way west, from ash tree to ash tree, across the United States. It is now present in 25 states and two Canadian provinces. The larvae feed under the bark of the ash tree, disrupting the movement of water and nutrients, killing the tree in a relatively short period of time.

WILLISTON — He doesn’t consider himself a “tree-hugger,”

but you may have seen Bruce Johnson around town recently doing just that.

The Mondak gold potato is similar to the Yukon Gold potato, but has a longer shelf life and its ends don’t sugar up.

The latter causes those characteristic dark ends on French fries. The variety is also low in acrylamides, which researchers have been studying as a potential carcinogen.

The potato is well-suited to the growing environment in the Mondak region, accord-ing to Jerry Bergman with NDSU.

“We kind of use this vari-ety to promote our region to attract the potato industry to look at this as a potential new potato production and processing area,” Bergman said.

In the year 2000, the area was in the running for such a plant, but lost out to Manitoba due to high hous-ing and labor costs here. A couple of growers do ship potatoes to the Simplot Com-

pany, a French fry company located in Grand Forks, but in general, it’s not cost-ef-fective to ship potatoes long distances.

“Mondak Gold is a very unique potato because of it s skin and flesh color,” Berg-man said. “It is a specialty potato, and it needs to estab-lish its own niche.”

That’s part of what the free potatoes are all about.

“We’re working on it from a consumer end, to give them out to consumers so they’ll tell producers they want to see this variety in the grocery store,” Bergman said.

They’ll share feedback from consumers who used the potatoes with potato growers and people in the potato market as well.

“We have to establish that people like them and would buy them,” he said. “Then, people will be more willing to growth them.”

Folks around Williston are always looking for things to do and

here’s where the James Me-morial Art Center comes in.

The JMAC is proud to offer “Canvasing the Bak-ken Oil Fields: Oil on Oil” by Minneapolis artist Joe Burns.

Now this is an exhibit that should attract the attention of a lot of folks throughout the Bakken.

Credited as being the first painter to document the “historical transformation” of the once-quiet landscape of the Bakken oil fields in and around Williston, this should make for a great show.

Plans call for Burns to debut his latest work during the World Premier of his new exhibit at the James Memorial Art Center.

Now how can it get any better than a World Pre-mier?

Officials tell us an opening reception with Burns is set to take place from 6-8 p.m. on June 4 at the JMAC.

TAKES TO ROADPlans also call for this

exhibition to travel next to Minnesota this summer come July at Capella Towers in downtown Minneapolis, then back to North Dakota later this fall and then into 2016.

As you can tell, the good folks in the Williston area are being treated first and foremost and you had best make this a date.

It’s always nice to show up in force to show apprecia-tion for the artist and his work, along with the fact this is the opening night.

OPEN TO PUBLICThe reception is free and

open to the public.Now that makes things

even that much better.You will find the JMAC

located at 621 First Avenue West in Williston.

Gallery hours are from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 1-5 p.m. on Friday, and again from 1-5 p.m. each Sunday.

To enter the JMAC there is no admission charge.

Hey, a donation from time to time to help keep things going is much appreciated.

For further information, you are being asked to contact the James at (701) 774-3601.

One thing is certain, there’s always something happening over at the JMAC.

WILLISTON ON TOPHey, what’s new?A recent report indicated

Williston once again led all North Dakota cities with $3.7 billion in taxable sales and purchases during the year 2014.

According to North Dako-ta Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger, his report on North Dakota taxable sales and purchases showed taxable sales and purchases during calendar year 2014 totaling $28.2 billion, show-ing an increase of nearly 11

percent over the $25.47 billion back in 2013.

That led the tax com-missioner to add, “eleven percent is a substantial increase in North Da-kota taxable sales and purchases, well above the two per-cent rate of inflation.”

Well folks, things are go-ing pretty good.

With all the things taking place, with the opening of new stores every day, one can only wonder what’s next?

SAD PASSINGSWe were very saddened to

hear of three recent deaths of ladies who had an influ-ence throughout the area.

Most recent was the pass-ing of Diane Heen, a loving mother and the wife of Ken Heen, long-time banker at American State Bank & Trust Co.

Diane always carried a smile and was on hand cheering on her children as they competed in events at WHS, ranging from music to sporting events.

The passing of KXMD television reporter Debbie Kuehn also came as a shock.

At the tender age of 50, this young lady was one of the best television broad-casters in the state and beyond.

She had been fighting an illness for a period of time.

Earlier we learned of the passing of Glo Shemorry, going to rest while sharing time with family members in the warmth of Arizona.

It was always fun over the years spending time chat-ting with Glo, not only about her musical career, but the life of being married to Bill Shemorry.

She truly lived up to her name, as she carried a glow about her.

In my book, Bill was a Hall of Fame newspaperman and he shared that career with Glo for a number of years.

These three individuals make for a big void in a lot of lives and they will be deeply missed.

May they rest in peace.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Mandan man set to be a wit-ness for the prosecution in a human trafficking case has been charged for operating as a pimp in the Bismarck-Mandan area.

The Bismarck Tribune reports that Abdul Fazl Vann is charged in Burleigh County with human traf-

ficking, a felony offense that carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

A Bismarck police affidavit states that Vann provided the sexual services of an 18-year-old woman to an unnamed client. The client allegedly paid Vann $400 for the ser-vices and none of the money was paid to the woman.

Charges filed against 170 motorcycle gang members in Waco

About 170 members of rival motorcycle gangs were charged with engaging in organized crime Monday, a day after a shootout at a Texas restaurant that killed nine people and wounded 18.

The crowd of suspects was so large that authorities opened a convention center to hold them all before they were arrested, police said.

Sunday’s melee at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco drew a broad police response that included placing officers atop buildings and highway overpasses to watch for other bikers rushing to the scene to retaliate.

McLennan County Justice of the Peace W.H. Peterson set bond at $1 million for each suspect. He defended the high amount, citing the violence that quickly unfolded in a shopping market busy with a lunchtime crowd. “We have nine people dead, because these people wanted to come down and what? Drink? Party?” Peterson said. “I thought it was appropriate.”

Things people in Williston will be talking about today

Drilling foes block Seattle port entry; city issues notice

Foes of Royal Dutch Shell’s use of a Seattle seaport terminal to prepare for

exploratory oil drilling in the Arctic Ocean attacked on two fronts Monday as a few hun-dred protesters blocked port entrances and the City of Seattle declared that Shell and its maritime host lacked a proper permit.

The city issued a violation notice, saying use of Terminal 5 by a massive floating drill rig was in violation of the site’s permitted use as a cargo terminal.

The 400-foot Polar Pioneer and its support tug Aiviq must be removed from the terminal or Shell’s host, Foss Maritime, must obtain an appropriate permit, the Seattle Depart-ment of Planning and Development said.

The companies can appeal. Possible fines start at $150 per day and can rise to $500 per day. The notice said the violation must be corrected by June 4.

Complaint charges oil companies paid women less than men

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a federal com-

plaint against Casper-based True Oil LLC and associated companies that charges they have dis-criminated against woman employees by paying them less than men for equivalent work.

A spokesman for the companies said Monday they vigorously disagree with and will fight the federal agency’s claims in the complaint.

The complaint, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Wyoming, names True Oil and nine as-sociated companies, some of which have various operations in 12 states. It states the companies share accounting functions and that, since at least 2010, they have paid female accounting clerks less male clerks.

“It’s not just unfair when women are paid less than men when they do substantially equal work under similar working conditions — it’s against the law,” Rayford O. Irvin, director of the EEOC’s Phoenix office, said in a prepared release.

Snowfall leads to deaths of some newborn calves, lambs in ND

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Fieldwork was limited because of wet weather in North Dakota in the last week and significant snowfall caused some deaths to newborn calves and lambs.

The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop progress report that temperatures got below freezing Sunday night, but it was too early to tell the impact on crops.

The precipitation continued to improve topsoil moisture supplies, which were rated 96 percent adequate or surplus. Stock water supplies were also at 96 percent adequate or surplus.

Even with a week that had 2½ days of suitable fieldwork, corn, soybeans, canola and durum planted were all well above last year’s totals at this time.

Pasture and range conditions were rated 64 percent good or excellent and 26 percent fair.

Utah plans to join lawsuit against federal fracking rules

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah Gov. Gary Herbert says Utah will join three other states in a lawsuit challenging new rules for oil and gas drilling on federal land.

The Obama administration announced in March that it will require companies that drill on federal lands to disclose the chemicals used in hy-draulic fracturing. The rule takes effect in June.

Herbert, a Republican, said Monday afternoon that Utah will join Wyoming, North Dakota and Colorado in the lawsuit because the rules unlaw-fully interfere with state regulations that address the process.

Montana boy shoots through window, kills friend trying to wake him

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Montana boy startled at be-ing awakened in the middle of the night fired a shot through his bedroom window and killed the 15-year-old friend who had been knocking and throwing pebbles at his window, police said Monday.

Billings police officers found the teen with a gunshot wound to his head early Sunday, and he died at a hospital a short time later. Po-lice identified the victim as Mackeon Schulte, the Billings Gazette reported.

Schulte and another boy were spending the night together and showed up at their friend’s house about 2:30 a.m. Sunday, according to a statement by Billings Police Chief Rich St. John released Mon-day. The two knocked on their friend’s window and threw pebbles in an attempt to wake him, St. John said.

“When their friend awoke, he was startled by the noise and saw faces outside the window,” St. John’s statement said. “He didn’t know who they were and was scared.”

Parents arrested for child neglect for 2nd time in 2 months

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — Authorities took custody of two children in Mandan after their parents were arrested for the second time in two months for allegedly keeping their children in filthy and dangerous conditions.

The Bismarck Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1IIdc4F ) that Justin and Amanda Thomas were charged in Morton County with felony child neglect. Amanda Thomas also was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.

Both suspects previously were charged with child neglect in April, but were out of custody on bond while they await trial in that case.

Mandan Police Lt. Lori Flaten wrote in a state-ment that the condition of the residence was “extremely bad,” with piles of trash and old food, as well as knives and broken glass throughout the home.

Legislators pass bill that had been nixed over Islamic law

The Idaho Legislature approved federally mandated child support rules Monday, undoing a rejection that had jeopardized U.S. involvement in an international treaty and threatened to collapse the state’s payment system.

The bill now goes to Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter, who has said he will sign it into law.

Idaho’s rejection last month — by one vote on the last day of the legisla-tive session over fears it could subject the U.S. courts to rulings made else-where under Islamic law — threatened an international effort intended to make it easier for parents to receive funds.

There are about 150,000 active inter-national cases involving about $600 million annually.

Protesters accompanied by Seattle police march at the Port of Seattle, Monday in Seattle. Demonstrators opposed to Arc-tic oil drilling were showing opposition to a lease agree-ment between Royal Dutch Shell and the Port to allow some of Shell’s oil drilling equipment to be based in Seattle.

BISMARCK (AP) — A World Trade Organization ruling on meat labeling could lead to heavy tariffs that will hurt ranchers and Congress should repeal the country-of-origin labeling law, North Dakota Stock-men’s Association President Steve Brooks said.

The WTO on Monday ruled against U.S. labels on certain cuts of red meat that say where the animals were born, raised and slaugh-tered, saying the labels put Canadian and Mexican live-stock at a disadvantage.

The ruling “opens the door for retaliation” from Canada and Mexico that would hurt cattle produc-ers and the broader U.S. economy, said Brooks, who ranches near Bowman.

“In order to protect producers from industry crippling tariffs, Congress must act quickly to bring the United States into com-pliance and repeal the law,” Brooks said. U.S. Agricul-ture Secretary Tom Vilsack has said Congress will have to change or repeal the law to avoid retaliation from Mexico and Canada.

Brooks said ranchers don’t object to the labels, but feel they should not be forced.

“The Stockmen’s Associa-tion supports labeling, but through the channels of free enterprise and en-trepreneurship,” he said. “The faulty, government-mandated approach has not benefited producers or consumers.”

U.S. meat processors support the WTO ruling,

because they consider the labels burdensome.

The Independent Beef As-sociation of North Dakota, another rancher group, sup-ports the country-of-origin labeling law and believes the onus should be on Canada and Mexico to prove they are harmed by it.

“As you go through grocery stores, everything you pick up has a country of origin on it — fruits, veg-etables, fish,” said IBAND President Larry Kinev, who ranches near Dawson. “Why exclude beef ?”

U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., a member of the Senate Agriculture Commit-tee who supports country-of-origin labeling, said she wants to find a bipartisan solution that will support ranchers while also benefit-ing consumers and meeting international trade obliga-tions.

National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson, a North Dakota farmer and former state agriculture commissioner, said he thinks any solution “must involve continuation of a meaningful country-of-ori-gin labeling requirement.”

Johnson urged the Obama administration to negotiate with Mexico and Canada on a solution.

“Congress may well have a role to play once the admin-istration has worked with our trading partners ... if a statutory modification is deemed warranted by the administration, but the time for action is not now,” he said.

North Dakota Stockmen’s urges Congress to repeal law on labeling meat

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Golf courses in the Minot area are continuing to recover after being inundated during the 2011 Souris River flood.

The Park Board is consid-ering buying 240 acres of land for $3 million on the city’s west side for a new public course, as the Minot Country Club prepares to open a new private course, The Minot Daily News re-ported.

The existing public Souris Valley Golf Course is in a low area along the river that’s at high risk of flood-ing.

It won’t be protected by a city flood protection project being developed in response

to the 2011 flood that dam-aged or destroyed more than 4,000 homes and other struc-tures, causing nearly $700 million in damage in the city.

“It’s very expensive to re-pair the golf course when it floods. You don’t want to have to do that every few years,” Parks Director Ron Merritt said. “We would be better off spending that kind of money building a course that won’t have that kind of issue.”

The Minot Country Club’s new course is set to open in the next couple of months, after more than two years of work. Any work on a new public course wouldn’t start until at least next year, Mer-ritt said.

In January 2007, shortly after entering the race for the 2008 Democratic

presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton traveled to Iowa, where one of the first questions she faced was about her vote to authorize the war in Iraq. “If we had known then what we know now, there never would have been a vote,” Clinton said, “and I never would have vot-ed to give (President George W. Bush) that authority.”

Clinton had been say-ing that since 2004. As she ramped up her campaign, she said it more and more. “If I had known then what I know now, I never would have voted to give the president authority,” Clinton said at a Democratic debate in June 2007. “Obviously, if I had known then what I know now about what the president would do with the authority that was given him, I would not have voted the way that I did,” she said on “Meet the Press” in September 2007.

It didn’t work. Democrats, and some in the press, de-manded more. They wanted Clinton to acknowledge that she had made a grievous error that went far beyond simply believing intelligence that turned out to be false. They wanted Clinton to say she had made a huge mistake and deeply regretted her actions. They wanted her to grovel.

“She uttered the most irri-tating and disingenuous nine words in politics: ‘If we had known then what we know now,’” wrote New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd of Clinton during that 2007 Iowa visit. “(Democratic Sen.) Jim Webb knew. Barack Obama knew. Even I knew, for Pete’s sake. The administration’s trickery was clear in real time.” Dowd’s conclusion, and that of many on the left, was that Clinton didn’t have the guts to stand up to a popular president.

Still, Clinton resisted a

full-scale confession. She ended up paying a heavy price, losing the nomination to Obama, who had not been in Con-gress at the time and had the luxury of saying he opposed the

Iraq war all along.But Clinton knew she had

to confess sometime. In her 2014 book “Hard Choices,” she wrote that she not only regretted her vote, she regretted not regretting it earlier:

“While many were never going to look past my 2002 vote no matter what I did or said, I should have stated my regret sooner and in the plainest, most direct lan-guage possible. I’d gone most of the way there by saying I regretted the way President Bush used his authority and by saying that if we knew then what we later learned, there wouldn’t have been a vote. But I held out against using the word ‘mistake.’ It wasn’t because of political expediency. After all, pri-mary voters and the press were clamoring for me to say that word. When I voted to authorize force in 2002, I said that it was ‘probably the hardest decision I have ever had to make.’ I thought I had acted in good faith and made the best decision I could with the information I had. And I wasn’t alone in getting it wrong. But I still got it wrong. Plain and simple.”

In recent days, Jeb Bush has struggled to answer the if-I-knew-then-what-I-know-now question about Iraq. Bush stumbled through three or four tries before finally saying that if he had known what would happen, “I would not have gone into Iraq.”

That should be enough.

Unlike Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush did not vote to autho-rize the war. Unlike Clinton, he was not privy to the secret intelligence used to justify in-vading Iraq. Unlike Clinton, he did not give a speech from the Senate floor in support of authorization.

Jeb Bush faced intense questioning on Iraq mostly because it was his brother who started the war, and many voters quite reason-ably want to know how a President Jeb Bush would be different from President George W. Bush. Jeb really could not get away with not answering.

Now that he has answered, it seems likely that criticism he received from conserva-tives will subside. But attacks from the Left will increase.

Just moments after Jeb’s final statement, the liberal writer Josh Marshall wrote: “It won’t end there. Because with a consensus in place that the Iraq War was a bad idea, the whys and hows of just how we made this deci-sion are up for discussion in a very new way.” An hour or so later, the Democratic Na-tional Committee announced a conference call to “hold Jeb Bush accountable on Iraq.”

In other words, Bush’s I-would-not-have-gone-into-Iraq answer immediately transformed the debate into a partisan one. Conservatives who criticized Jeb’s earlier flubbed answers will likely say he’s done enough. The Left will keep pressing for more -- just like they pressed Clinton.

But of course, Jeb has no Iraq vote to regret.

Besides, in the end it seems unlikely the public is interested in a full replay of the 2002-2003 Iraq war debate. Bush made a commonsense statement. That’s probably enough for most voters.

How do you respond to an offensive red neck slur against gays or blacks or other minorities?

It was a sincere question from a woman I occasion-ally sit with in our dining room here in Fargo.

“Well”, I responded, “I try to never respond hatefully to any opinion, even a hateful one that probably deserves such a response.”

After all, aren’t we admonished to never repay evil with evil?

But since that brief conversation I’ve been thinking quite a bit about what might be the proper response.

On the one hand, retaliation just puts you in a cat fight, and doesn’t change anything.

On the other hand, a red neck statement deserves an honest response and some kind of put down. It reminded me of an incident many years ago at our town Kiwanis club meeting when the speaker used an inappro-priate remark. One of the members stood up, expressed his disdain, and walked out.

Most of the members thought it was ter-ribly rude, but I couldn’t help but think that it probably cured the obviously mortified speaker of using such a story in the future. Perhaps the proper response is someplace in the middle -- try to stay respectful and yet convey your disapproval. Choosing the words is what is difficult.

If you have a favorite response for “bully talkers” share it with me -- [email protected].

Inflategate judgmentAs if we didn’t have enough more important things to

ponder, the airwaves are full of debate over whether the 4-day suspension for Tom Brady was appropriate.

For the few of you who are not football fans, as I am, Tom Brady, quarterback for the Super Bowl winning New England Patriots, was suspended for his role in decreasing the air pressure in Super Bowl footballs to improve the grip.

As it turned out the Patriots didn’t need that help, and the practice probably didn’t improve his throwing that much.

But I wish they would have made it clear that he was suspended not for the act, but for cheating and lying. New England seems to have a propensity for that. Their coach was caught cheating, as well.

It’s a game. And cheating is an unwritten rule in most every game we play. It doesn’t matter how many others have done it. It is still cheating.If everybody cheats, is the proper response to legalize cheating? Of course not. Not even home town fans are proud of those winners who have cheated.

So quit making excuses Tom! Ethanol becoming bustahol?Anybody who believes government can manage our way

to a cleaner planet and lower carbon emissions needs to do a little homework on Ethanol.

Once a green darling that governments have embraced at both federal and state levels with massive subsidies over the past 30 or 40 years, Ethanol now is becoming a pariah in light of more recent research.

It turns out Ethanol production does not lower our carbon imprint or reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Matter of fact, almost everyone not from a rural corn growing community is now bad mouthing the industry, even the greens who champi-oned it a generation ago.

Reality Check

On PoliticsByron York

Last month, the favorite cop of every North Dakota leadfoot lost a prolonged fight with bosses and re signed, under pressure, from the North Dakota State

Troopers.Before turning in his badge, officer Jeremie Meisel was

being investigated for “writing fake tickets,” which would be consistent with his criticism of the state troopers office and its ticket quota policy. If Meisel was writing fake tickets — presumably to make a mockery of the system, or to trick his superiors about the number of tickets he was writing without compromising his conscience — he probably de-served to be fired, and he may have even wanted to be.

North Dakota State Police, who deny, on semantic grounds that such a quota exists in the first place, insist that writing more tickets saves lives on the roadway. Meisel disagreed, telling the Bismarck Tribune, “There are a lot of differ-ent ways we can be effective than just writing a ticket,” to include issuing warnings and creating a more visible police presence.

When it comes to safety, Meisel is probably right. But his way of policing doesn’t do anything to help the budget shortfalls states, counties and municipalities face these days. In fact, Meisel’s way has precisely the opposite effect.

Though their stated goal of keeping roads safer may be an honestly held conviction, police across the nation, espe-cially in states not nearly so flush with revenue as North Dakota, are becoming more and more like Roman-era tax collectors. The tickets they write produce revenue depended upon just to keep the lights on and the trash picked up on time.

Rather than maintaining the ‘more visible presence’ Meisel prefers, police prefer to park out of plain sight, behind trees, in the dark with lights off, before lighting up unlucky, unsuspecting motorists.

Police, and the role they play in a democratic society, have been under scrutiny all year with the incidents involving the Ferguson, Mo. Police Department garnering the most attention.

As disturbing as the abject racism found by the U.S. Jus-tice Department in its investigation of Ferguson, was the apparent cabal between the police and the Ferguson court system, which systematically targeted African-Americans for citations because, as their logic went, blacks would be less likely to contest fines in court.

So maybe Meisel was just a loose cannon, a maverick, a troublemaker, who stood for nothing but his own need for attention in an institution hardly designed for people who think they’re special.

But his case is a reminder to us all to be vigilant and think and discuss constantly the proper role of police in our society, whether as keepers of safety and gatherers of government revenue.

Sometimes honesty and civility collide

Disney World tells riders to stop using selfie sticks

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Disney World is looking to crack down on guests who use selfie sticks on rides at the park.

The Orlando Sentinel reports a spokesman said Monday guests can bring selfie sticks on the rides but must securely store them.

Disney policy forbids visi-tors from using the sticks, which can be used to extend cameras out up to 3 feet. One ride, Thunder Moun-

tain, has had a number of incidents in which the ride had to be stopped because of selfie-stick use.

Cow costume rustled as employee uses bathroom

HARTLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan restaurant says a cow costume it uses to boost business was snatched after a worker left the two-piece outfit outside a gas station while using the bathroom.

The Livingston County Press & Argus of Howell reports the black-and-white

suit, which some employees affectionately refer to as “My Angus,” disappeared last weekend.

The costume has been used by Black Rock Bar & Grill since it opened several years ago. An employee dons the suit a few times a week and stands outside to help promote the restau-rant’s specials.

The cow also makes ap-pearances at community events. Restaurant manager Kristy Ressler says it’s the second time the suit’s been rustled.

upcoming, we ask that you take out some time for what this day was intended.

Once known as Decoration Day, now a national holiday, the last Monday of May each year is set aside to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country.

This is also a time when folks hunger for a long week-end and are looking to get their summer vacation off to a fast start.

Perhaps with the chilly

Memorial Day is also a time when families pay special attention to family members and there’s noth-ing wrong with that.

But, the least you can do is pause and salute the many veterans who have answered the call. Should you be able, there are also a number of Memorial Day services held around the area and this is a great way to show your support.

We send out a Scope Salute to each and every veteran.

end? Corrections and us,” said Haagenson, who has worked in law enforcement in the region for 25 years.

The North Dakota Legisla-ture this year approved $2.9 million to fund an additional 16 parole and probation officers over the next two years. Those officers, how-ever, won’t be on the job for months.

“The oil-impacted areas will be getting a fairly good share of those positions,” Tomanek said.

Officers perform record checks, verify employment, administer drug tests and visit offenders’ homes, though the latter has lagged in recent years in Haagen-son’s district.

“We don’t get a chance to go out into the field as much as we want to,” Haagenson said. “There are tons of pa-perwork and court proceed-ings — we just don’t have time.”

The additional staffing is “much appreciated” and should help keep better tabs on offenders, Haagenson

said.The released offenders’

crimes include everything from drug convictions to murder, officials said.

Haagenson said there has been a rise in the number of people on parole and proba-tion convicted of violent crimes in recent years.

The number of women on probation or parole also is increasing, up 48 percent in five years to 1,815 at present, data show.

The number of male of-fenders has increased about 41 percent since 2010.

Haagenson said the bulk of female offenders have drug and theft convictions.

“The thefts are often the result of drug addiction,” Haagenson said.

‘We don’t get a chance to go out into the field as much as we want to. There are tons of paperwork and court proceedings — we just don’t have time.’

ClarificationIn Sunday’s Story about

the Guardians Founda-tion, a homeless veterans shelter, it was written that Job Service North Dakota had given a grant to the program.

To clarify, it split money it was awarded for helping veterans with The Guard-ians Foundation and the Salvation Army. The Job Service does not generally award grants.

COMMUNITY HAPPENINGS

Page 6: 05/19/15 - Williston Herald

Dear Annie: I have been with “Joe” since his wife died nine years ago. The problem is, we have different styles of communication.

At first, it wasn’t too bad. I have tried to analyze our fights to see what I could do differently or what we could do together to make it better. But I have settled on the fact that Joe can never be wrong, and it affects everything. He won’t do anything in a new way, cannot say he’s sorry for anything he has said or done, won’t admit to hurting my feelings, and often won’t believe what I say. Worse, when he gets an idea in his head, he won’t change it even when presented with new information that proves him wrong. And when I sug-gest he reconsider, he often makes comments that are below the belt and painful for me. It’s frustrating.

Joe is 75, and I am 66. We live together and don’t want to move. I know he won’t go for counseling, nor will he be-lieve anything he reads that contradicts his impressions. How do I keep my sanity and stop these fights? -- Need Your Help

Dear Need: Let’s under-stand this. You are willing to put up with what sounds like frequent verbal abuse because you don’t want to move? Does Joe have any redeeming qualities that make up for his stubborn ig-

norance and disagreeable nature? We don’t see love here. We see fear of being alone. You cannot make Joe become a better com-municator unless he works at it, which he won’t. Only

you can decide whether you are willing to tolerate this in order to stay with him. Some counseling for you alone might be helpful.

Dear Annie: Why do people pay so little attention to the proper pronunciation of certain words?

This morning, I received a telephone call from a sales-clerk, who informed me that something I had ordered was no longer available, but she had “fount” a similar item if I cared to substitute. I’d like to substitute “found” for “fount.”

Also, I’ve heard several people say “ax” when they mean “ask.” An “ax” is some-thing you use to chop wood. If the speaker had “axed her,” she wouldn’t be able to an-swer, now, would she? “Ask” should rhyme with “task.”

Last week, for the ump-teenth time, I heard someone say, “We are having a sells event.” The word is “sales.”

You are having a sale where you hope to sell things. You are not having a “sell.” And why do people continue to say “I done this” or “I seen that” or “they come over yes-terday.” These people have been to school and presum-ably learned the proper tense for verb usage.

Why are we so careless in our speech? OK, Annie. I feel better now. -- Shepherdsville, Ky.

Dear Shepherdsville: Glad to help. Some kids don’t pay that much attention in school. And how your friends and family members speak can be a greater influence than what you learn in a short class. Rules of gram-mar, if not reinforced at home, often go by the way-side.

Standards have relaxed a great deal, but still, people who cannot correctly pro-nounce words are considered uneducated or worse, and it can affect the jobs they get and the people they attract, which shapes the rest of their lives.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If asked to provide help for someone who was once close to you, you should do so with care. Be compassionate, but don’t try to revive the previous intimacy you once shared.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Be realistic. You will burn out if you don’t slow down and take care of your health. Make time for personal needs instead of just doing things for everyone else.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t allow anyone to push you around. If your motiva-tions are clear, there will be no reason to accept criticism or debate from others. A mi-

nor health issue will escalate if neglected.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A personal change will im-prove your self-image and confidence. You will be able to convince others to come on board if you present your ideas with vigor and dyna-mism.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Joint ventures look promis-ing, but read the fine print be-fore making a commitment. Clear your agenda in order to spend time on personal plea-sures. Do something with someone you love.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Now is the time to tie up loose ends. You will gain credibility if you are seen as a take-charge individual who can handle any situation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t deceive others about the way you feel. Honesty will strengthen, not weaken, a good relationship. You’ll face criticism if you don’t keep your end of the bargain.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Share your ideas. A respected acquaintance will provide the key to a home-based business venture. A

sound financial investment will pay off if you are willing to work hard.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Prepare to jump at a romantic opportunity. The time is right for love. Limit large social gatherings, and spend some one-on-one time with the person who in-trigues you most.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your dwindling bank account will require you to make some difficult choices. Durability and versatility will allow you to rise above unanticipated workplace changes. Diversify and pros-per.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Someone will try to exploit your generosity. Be helpful and sympathetic, but keep your cash in a safe place. Trying to bankroll someone else’s venture will be a costly mistake.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Make sure all of your bases are covered before you sign up for a joint venture or make a commitment. Some-thing that sounds too good to be true will be a disappoint-ment.

David Attenborough, an English naturalist and broad-caster, said, “Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as uni-versal as a bird?” Also, every-one wishes that they could fly like a bird.

Do you like wild bridge deals, ones with crazy distri-bution? If today’s deal were played in a duplicate, there would be several different auctions, but the two most likely final contracts would be five spades by South (perhaps after the given auction) and six diamonds doubled by East, who refused to sell out to five spades because of his side’s double fit in the minors.

How should the defense go against each of those con-tracts?

West used the Unusual No-trump to show at least 5-5 in the minors. North’s jump to four spades was pre-emptive: long spades, weak hand. East had an easy five-diamond bid. But then, when South per-sisted with five spades, East probably should have gone on to six. Although it would theo-retically have been a phantom sacrifice (both five spades and six diamonds can be defeated), when one has a double fit, it usually pays to declare.

Against five spades, West leads the diamond ace. Since the queen is on the board, East plays the nine, a count card showing an even num-ber. West cashes the diamond king. Now East, with attitude and count known, should send a suit-preference signal by dropping the two to ask for a club shift. Then five spades fails. But if West leads a heart or a third diamond, the con-tract makes.

To defeat six diamonds, South must cash two heart tricks -- not so hard.

Twins face veteran lefty in Pittsburgh

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Francisco Liriano will start for the Pirates when the Minnesota Twins visit Pittsburgh in the interleague series opener.

The lefty makes his first start as a Pirate against his former team Tuesday night. .

Liriano’s slider electrified the Twins during his rookie year in 2006 before elbow surgery sidelined him for 18 months. Now, he’s become a reliable veteran in the Pi-rates’ rotation since joining the team in 2013. Liriano has a 24-21 record in Pittsburgh with a 3.17 ERA. He signed a three-year, $39 million contract with Pittsburgh last winter.

Marlins GM Dan Jen-nings becomesMiami’s manager

MIAMI (AP) — Even the mother of the Miami Marlins’ new manager is questioning the wisdom of the choice.

Marlins general manager Dan Jennings was selected Monday to replace Mike Redmond in the dugout. Jennings has 31 years of experience in professional baseball, but he never played in the majors and has never managed.

“It is outside the box, I will not deny that,” Jennings said at a news conference. “My mom, whom I love deeply, asked me, ‘Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind?’”

Redmond was fired one-quarter of the way into his third season Sunday after the Marlins were nearly no-hit in a 6-0 loss to Atlanta. The defeat dropped Miami to 16-22, but team president David Samson said a change had been in the works since the Marlins started 3-11.

Jennings’ first game was Monday night, a 3-2 loss in 13 innings at home against Arizona.

Griner accepts WNBA suspension as conse-quence of her actions

PHOENIX (AP) — Brittney Griner says she accepts the WNBA’s seven-game suspension as a con-sequence of her actions.

The league suspended the Phoenix Mercury’s All-Star center for 20 per-cent of its 34-game season following her arrest in a domestic violence incident. Griner’s wife Glory John-son of the Tulsa Shock also was arrested and got the same suspension.

“I understand there are consequences for your actions,” she said after the Mercury opened training camp on Monday. “I accept those consequences and I’m not going to fight it.”

Griner is undergoing counseling after agreeing to a diversion program.

NEW YORK (AP) — Phil Jackson remembers watching old teammate Dave DeBusschere pound his fist in triumph, when the Knicks and NBA were dual winners.

The first draft lottery in 1985 gave New York the No. 1 pick and the NBA all the publicity a league could want, plus a way to deter teams from losing on purpose.

Thirty years later, the lottery still creates hope and headlines — though it’s debatable if tanking has ever gone away.

“It’s unique,” Jackson said. “It’s a fascinating process.”

It returns Tuesday night with the Knicks, now run by Jackson, with the second-best odds of winning,

perhaps for the right to choose be-tween big men Karl-Anthony Towns of Kentucky or Jahlil Okafor of national champion Duke.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have the best chance, though they’ve fallen backward eight times and never won even from the pole position.

The team with the worst record rarely has, going winless since the Orlando Magic got the rights to Dwight Howard in 2004.

Howard is now playing in Hous-ton, which is where this whole lot-tery story begins.

The Rockets nose-dived their way toward the bottom two years running, with longtime Orlando

executive and four-time lottery win-ner Pat Williams once saying they “not so subtly basically packed it in for the last month” on their way to getting Hakeem (then Akeem) Olajuwon in 1984.

The top pick then was determined by a coin flip between the teams with the worst records in each con-ference, with the remaining teams picking in inverse order of their won-lost records.

The lottery debuted in 1985 with the seven non-playoff teams having equal odds as they vied for Patrick Ewing, and conspiracy theories for-ever followed when Commissioner David Stern pulled the envelope of the big-market Knicks, triggering

the celebration of DeBusschere, their general manager.

Envelopes have given way to pingpong balls and the format has been tweaked through the years, though it dodged significant change last fall.

Commissioner Adam Silver, con-cerned about the tanking percep-tion fueled largely by Philadelphia’s strategy of angling for high draft picks, favored reform to the current system that gives the team with the worst record a 25 percent chance of winning. It fell short of approval, and Silver now suggests the lottery will remain as is at least until after the league’s new TV contracts begin in 2016-17.

NEW YORK (AP) — Tyler Johnson is carrying the Tampa Bay Lightning in the playoffs and making a name for himself.

The 24-year-old is becoming one of the front-runners to be the postseason MVP.

Johnson scored short-handed, even strength and on the power play in tal-lying the first hat trick in Lightning playoff history and Tampa Bay got its high-scoring offense in gear and evened the Eastern Conference finals with a 6-2 victory over the stumbling New York Rangers on Monday night.

“Oh, Tyler Johnson, the bigger the game, the better he plays,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. “That’s Tyler Johnson. It’s unreal to watch. He put

the team on his back, and we all fol-lowed.”

Johnson has had four multiple goal-scoring games in the postseason and each has followed a Lightning loss. The previous player with four mul-tiple goal-scoring games in the same postseason was Jamie Langenbrun-ner with the Devils in 2003, the league said.

“I think every morning I’m just happy to be here and I’m living my dream,” the 5-foot-8 undrafted center said. “So that’s what’s driving me is to try to be the best I can and play for my family. They sacrificed so much for me to be here, and I’m living my dream, so I want to keep living it as long as possible.”

Alex Killorn added two goals and Steven Stamkos had one and the Lightning bounced back from a crushing late loss on Saturday and made the Presidents’ Trophy winners pay for every slip, penalty and mis-take.

Chris Kreider and Derek Stepan scored for the Rangers in the wide-open, penalty-filled matchup that ended New York’s run of playing in 15 straight playoffs games decided by one goal.

Henrik Lundqvist, who gave up at least five goals in two of three regular-season games against Tampa Bay this season, gave up six on just 26 shots. The series shifts to Florida for games on Wednesday and Friday.

Lottery still creating hope and hype after 30 years

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The MVP race was decided weeks ago. Newly crowned Stephen Curry and runner-up James Harden insist there’s a bigger prize they’ve wanted all along.

Now is their chance to compete for it.

Curry and the top-seeded Golden State Warriors will meet Harden and the reju-venated Houston Rockets in the Western Conference finals beginning Tuesday night.

The Baby-Faced Assas-sin starring opposite the Bearded One is a scintillat-ing subplot to a series that should feature a frenetic pace and a ton of 3-point shots. But when the ball is tossed amid a sea of scream-ing fans in golden-yellow shirts at Oracle Arena, only one thing will be on the minds of the leading men.

“We’re four wins away from getting to the Finals and one step closer to our dream,” Curry said. “There’s one team in our way to get there. That’s it.”

The Warriors went 4-0 against the Rockets in the regular season, winning by an average of 15.3 points. But a lot has changed for Houston since the teams last played Jan. 21.

Dwight Howard sat out two meetings and is playing as well as he has in years. Josh Smith has found his groove and starters Pat-rick Beverley and Donatas Motiejunas are out with injuries.

“We’re a new team,” Harden said. “It’s a new series.”

The Warriors rolled to a franchise-record 67 wins in the regular season, finishing 11 games ahead of second-place Houston. Golden State is in the conference finals for the first time since 1976, a year after winning the franchise’s only Bay Area title.

The Rockets are in the conference finals for the first time since 1997. Hous-ton hasn’t been to the NBA Finals since winning back-to-back titles in 1994 and 1995.

The offensive sets vary between the teams, but the overall philosophy is similar: make stops, push the pace and spread the floor with shooters.

“That’s our brand of bas-ketball,” Warriors forward Draymond Green said. “And we feel like we’re really good at our brand of basketball.”

Both teams rallied from series deficits to win three straight games in the last round. The Warriors overcame a 2-1 hole against Memphis, and the Rockets became the ninth team in NBA history to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win a playoff series when they closed out the Clippers in Game 7 on Sunday.

Whether the Rockets are recovered from that emo-tional series is unclear. The tight turnaround — and long-distance flight — surely don’t work in their favor.

But after fighting back to get this far, this much is clear: the Rockets don’t lack for confidence. “We’re going to put the pressure on them,” Harden said.

For Warriors and Rockets, West finals go beyond MVP talk

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Robert Kraft has repeated-ly stood up for Roger Goodell, supporting the NFL commis-sioner’s high salary, playing a key role in ending the 2011 lockout, even vouching for his friend amid missteps in the Ray Rice domestic vio-lence case.

That was before the rela-tionship frayed between two of the most powerful men in sports, with the league slap-ping a four-game suspension on Tom Brady, a superstar whom Kraft has described as a fifth son. The billionaire’s Super Bowl champions are also down $1 million and two draft picks, pending a possible appeal should the Patriots contest findings that they deflated footballs after referees inspected them for the AFC title game.

The penalties are too harsh, Kraft believes. The sanctions imposed by NFL executive vice president Troy Vin-cent were based on a league investigation that found Brady was “at least gener-ally aware” of a scheme to illegally deflate footballs for

New England’s game before the Super Bowl.

Even though they’ve had a strong relationship for a very long time, Kraft can’t expect leniency from Goodell, said Marc Ganis, a sports con-sultant who has known both men for two decades.

“If there’s anything that can be taken out of this situa-tion that is a positive, it’s the perception that was out there that Kraft might get a sweet deal because of his relation-ship with Roger,” said Ganis, president of Chicago-based consulting firm SportsCorp. “That has to be thrown out the window by now. No one can possibly believe that.”

Goodell has 31 other own-ers to consider, plus the public relations hit he took from his mismanagement of Rice’s suspension, initially suspending the former Ra-vens running back two games for striking his fiancee (now wife).

Kraft, too, has concerns beyond his own team as chairman of the league’s broadcast committee that manages the NFL’s booming

growth anchored by its TV contracts.

“This has frayed some nerves, but I am absolutely convinced that this is simply a speed bump in their rela-tionship and that sooner than most would expect, they’ll be shoulder to shoulder working on whatever the next major project is for the NFL,” Ganis said. The NFL owners’ three-day meeting began Monday in San Francisco.

Asked in an interview with Sports Illustrated during the weekend about his current relationship with Goodell, Kraft said: “You’ll have to ask him.”

When asked if he would stay as active in NFL issues as he has been, Kraft said: “I’d rather not get into that for a week or two.”

He did say he was con-vinced that Brady played no part in deflating the footballs.

The Patriots have until Thursday to appeal their discipline, but have given no indication whether they will. They did not respond to requests for comment from Kraft on Goodell’s decision

to arbitrate the appeal and other matters related to the scandal known as “Deflat-egate.”

Kraft could accept the punishment imposed on his team, saying it’s time to move on for the good of the league.

During Spygate, when the Patriots were penalized for videotaping New York Jets signals during a game in 2007, they didn’t challenge fines of $500,000 against coach Bill Belichick and $250,000 against the club along with the loss of a first-round draft pick.

But this is different.Brady is the poster boy of a

league obsessed with its im-age, a three-time Super Bowl MVP. And his fight with the league isn’t in Kraft’s hands. It’s being handled by the players union and attorney Jeffrey Kessler, a longtime NFL nemesis.

“Once they get in the middle of it, it becomes a different animal and it’s hard to predict where things will go,” said Ganis, who consults with the NFL and some of its owners on business matters.

Kraft-Goodell relationship frayed by NFL investigation into ‘Deflategate’

Page 8: 05/19/15 - Williston Herald

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Islamic State group’s capture of Ramadi, a key provincial capital in west-ern Iraq, calls into question the Obama administration’s strategy in Iraq.

Is there a Plan B?The current U.S. approach

is a blend of retraining and rebuilding the Iraqi army, prodding Baghdad to recon-cile with the nation’s Sun-nis, and bombing Islamic State targets from the air without committing Ameri-can ground combat troops.

But the rout in Ramadi revealed a weak Iraqi army, slow reconciliation and a bombing campaign that, while effective, is not deci-sive.

On Monday, administra-tion officials acknowledged the fall of Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, as a “setback.” They still maintained, however, the campaign would ultimately bring victory. They coun-seled patience and said periodic setbacks are to be expected in confronting the Islamic State.

But anything close to a

victory appeared far off.Derek Harvey, a retired

Army colonel and former Defense Intelligence Agency military intelligence officer who served multiple tours in Iraq, says that while the extremist group has many problems and weaknesses, it is “not losing” in the face of ineffective Sunni Arab opposition.

“They are adaptive and they remain well armed and well resourced,” Harvey said. “The different lines of operation by the U.S. coalition remain disjointed, poorly resourced and lack an effective operational framework, in my view.”

One alternative for the Obama administration would be a containment strategy — trying to fence in the conflict rather than push the Islamic State group out of Iraq. That might include a combination of airstrikes and U.S. special operations raids to limit the group’s reach. In fact, a Delta Force raid in Syria on Friday killed an IS leader known as Abu Sayyaf who U.S. officials said oversaw the group’s oil and gas op-erations, a major source of funding.

Officials have said con-tainment might become an option but is not under active discussion now.

Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, issued a written statement Monday that suggested Ramadi will trigger no change in the U.S. approach.

“Setbacks are regrettable but not uncommon in war-fare,” Dempsey said. “Much effort will now be required to reclaim the city.”

It seems highly unlikely that President Barack Obama would take the more dramatic route of sending ground combat forces into Iraq to rescue the situation in Ramadi or elsewhere. A White House spokesman, Eric Shultz, said Monday the U.S. will continue its support through airstrikes, advisers and trainers; he pointed to an intensified series of coalition air as-saults in the Ramadi area, which included eight strikes overnight Sunday.

The administration has said repeatedly that it does not believe Iraq can be stabilized for the long term

unless Iraqis do the ground fighting.

Ramadi may not be the most important prize in Iraq but it carries special significance to many in the American military because it was the scene of bloody battles against insurgents, costing many U.S. lives before the city was pacified in 2006-07.

Pentagon officials insisted Monday the current U.S. approach to combating IS in Iraq is still viable and that the loss of Ramadi was merely part of the ebb and flow of war, not a sign that the Islamic State had exposed a fatal weakness in the Iraqi security forces and the U.S. strategy.

“We will retake Ramadi,” said Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman. The timing, he added, will be up to the Iraqi government.

Analysts are skeptical. Stephen Biddle, a George Washington University pro-fessor of political science who periodically advised U.S. commanders in Iraq during the 2003-2011 war, said Obama has been trying to split the Sunni tribes away from the Islamic State while pressing the Iraqi gov-ernment to foster and rely on non-sectarian military forces.

“That’s clearly not work-ing, or at least it’s not making the progress we had hoped it would make,” Biddle said.

“We don’t really have a strategy at all,” former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in an appearance Tuesday on MSNBC. “We’re basically playing this day by day.”

Gates, who headed the Pentagon for Obama as well as President George W. Bush’s administration before that, said “right now, it looks like they’re (Iraq) going the way of Yugoslavia. ... Right now, it looks like we’re going to see a lot of trouble in the Middle East for a long time.”

The Institute for the Study of War, which closely tracks developments in Iraq, said Ramadi was a key Islamic State victory.

“This strategic gain con-stitutes a turning point in ISIS’ ability to set the terms of battle in Anbar as well to project force in eastern Iraq,” the institute said.

Fall of Ramadi raises doubts about US strategy

The Associatd PressCivilians flee their hometown of Ramadi, the capital of Iraq’s Anbar province, 115 kilometers (70 miles) west of Baghdad, Monday, May 18, 2015. Islamic State militants searched door-to-door for policemen and pro-government fighters and threw bodies in the Euphrates River in a bloody purge Monday after capturing the strategic city of Ramadi, their biggest victory since overrunning much of northern and western Iraq last year.

BY CHARLEE GUILDWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — School is let-ting out, and summer is just right around the corner. What better way to keep your kids entertained than a reading program centered around the theme of ‘Every Hero Has a Story’.

Registration will begin on 26th-29th. All of the classes will begin on June 2nd and will go from 3:30 p.m-4:30 p.m.

Andrea Mitchell has been in charge of the summer reading program for the past 5 years and every year a new theme is focused.

“We have many activities com-ing into play for this years reading program, every year it is different but we always have a great turn out.” said Andrea Mitchell.

The age group that is open for the summer reading program that consists of Pre-K to 6th grade, but it doesn’t stop there. The summer

reading program will also have baby time, and toddler time; ac-cording to Mitchell, it is never too soon to raise a reader.

Prizes are awarded for those who record how many minutes have been read. Reading minutes include your child reading silently, being read to, reading aloud, or listening to audio books.

“By awarding the children every 100 minutes that are recorded, it serves as an incentive for the kids

and drives them to want to read more” said Mitchell.

By reaching the first 100 min-utes, the child can receive a prize containing a door hanger and stickers. Every 100 points earned, the child will also receive a raffle ticket and be put in a drawing for the grand prize.

Each week the theme of heroes centers around a specific group. For instance, the first week of summer reading will focus on

North Dakota Heroes, and change every week.

On June 1st, as an opening show, Arch Ellwein will be performing as Theodore Roosevelt. The Wil-liston Community Library urges the community to come and learn more about this North Dakota Hero.

For more information, please contact Andrea Mitchell at 701.774.8805

Williston Library encourages summer reading

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Federal authorities said they are uncertain if anything struck the windshield of an Amtrak train before it de-railed in Philadelphia last week, but they have not ruled out the possibility.

Investigators, however, said they are certain a gunshot did not strike the train before the May 12 derail-ment, which killed eight people and injured more than 200 others.

FBI agents performed forensic work on a grapefruit-sized frac-ture on the left side of the Amtrak locomotive’s windshield, and the National Transportation Safety Board said they found no evidence of any damage that could have been caused by a firearm.

The developments came Monday as trains began running to New York again for the first time in nearly a week. They also raised new questions about the events leading up to the derailment, including a conversation an assistant conduc-tor told investigators she heard between the Amtrak engineer and a regional rail train engineer min-utes before the train sped up and went off the rails at a curve.

The assistant conductor said she heard the regional train engineer say he’d been “hit by a rock or shot at” and she thought she heard the Amtrak engineer say his train had also been struck.

The NTSB said the regional train engineer recalled no such conver-sation, and investigators listened to the dispatch tape and heard no communications from the Amtrak engineer to the railroad’s dispatch center to say that something had struck the train.

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority said it

doesn’t know what caused the dam-age to its train that night.

Investigators have focused on the acceleration of the Amtrak train as it approached the curve, reach-ing 106 mph as it entered a 50 mph

stretch and slowing down only slightly before the crash.
