WILLISTON — The Williston City Commission voted Tuesday to close the doors on two man camps for not following city code. Black Gold Lodge and ATCO man camps will be closed, effective Feb. 15., for not having proper fire sprinkler systems installed. ATCO told the city is was planning to close operations in the city. “We gave them an inch. A couple of companies took two inches,” said Commissioner Tate Cymbaluk, who brought the issue to the board. “They have now made this our problem. It really shouldn't be our problem. Our job is to provide the rules and regulations, and they failed to meet them.” Black Gold was originally in Williams County, but when the city completed the Northern Annexation in 2013 it came under city limits. One requirement from the city for the man camps was to have a sprinkler system in place within

ATCO Lodge was ordered closed by the Williston City Commission on Tuesday for not meeting city code. 16 months. That deadline was Dec. 31, 2014. Black Gold's facility has 400 beds with 322 rooms. According to a Black Gold representative, there are 308 people living in the facility. The board talked about giving the company more time to become compliant, but Cymbaluk didn’t think it was appropriate

“I don't think we give them any more latitude to become compliant,” he said. “They had 16 months to do it. We were crystal clear when we annexed them in. We were crystal clear in giving them notices.” Cymbaluk originally motioned for the city shut the man camps down by Feb. 1, but through further discus-

sion it was decided that tenants of the building should have more time to find new housing. “I have no remorse for this group. I do for the tenants,” Cymbaluk said. “I actually care about the people that our in there. I don't care about the people who own this.” Terry Metzler, of Granite

WILLISTON — New Public School District No. 8 voted to transition into a K-12 district within the next four years during Monday's school board meeting. The motion was passed with no budget, staffing or curriculum plan, and no parent involvement other than a 2-year-old survey. No parents of District 8 students were present at the meeting despite the decision being on the agenda. In order to move to K-12, the district needs to meet certain requirements set by the state. If it doesn’t, the Department of Public Institution will deny the bid, and sanctions could be placed on the district. “We caution all school districts to be sure that they are doing a good job of what their high school is going to look like,” said Bob Marthaller, DPI assistant superintendent.

Peak Development, explained to the city that the apartments they build don’t get 16 months to become complaint with city ordinances. “It's wrong to give these companies a second chance,” Metzler said. One man camp, which became complaint with city ordinances was Aries Building Systems. Peter Eberle, a representative for the company, spoke during the meeting. “We understand we are the unwelcome guests, but we run a service with a lot of pride, energy and attitude, and again, the message is sent to us,” Eberle said Aries became compliant and worked with the city to do so. According to Eberle, Aries turned away customers and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to become complaint. Cymbaluk stated during the meetings that the man camps when approved by the county, had to agree to a reclamation bond.

Team Kitchens will head to Fargo for Nationals By Zack Nelson Williston Herald

WILLISTON — A Williston Basin Curling Club team won the State Men's Club Curling Championship, which was held in Williston earlier this month. The team was lead by Adam Kitchens and teammates Travis Kitchens, Alex Kitchens and Zach Zaste. Team Kitchens went through pool play undefeated. Team Kitchens beat teams out of Grafton, Crosby, and Bismarck to get to the play-

offs as the No. 1 seed. The championship used a page playoff format where the No. 1 seed from the two pools play each other and the No. 2 seeds do the same. Winner of the one versus one game went straight to the championship. Team Kitchens lost this game to Team Pengilly out of Bismarck. Because of the loss they dropped to the bottom of the bracket, but ended up beating Team Gulseth, who they beat earlier in pool play.

How can we help you?

The last game of the tournament came down to a winner take all match to go to Fargo for the national competition. Team Kitchens ended up getting the better of Team Pengilly the second time around, winning 6-3. Team Kitchens will next compete in the 2015 USA Curling Club National Championships at the FargoMoorhead Curling Club, March 7-14. Alex Kitchens, who turned 21 the day after winning the state title, will also be competing in the Junior Championship this year. The three Kitchens on the team are brothers. znelson@willistonherald.com

District 8 would need around 200 students, according to Marthaller, through a conversation he had with District 8. He said for a school that size, about 25-35 staff members would have to be added. District 8 has had problems finding enough teachers for students this school year, and placed kindergarten students on a wait list before deciding to enroll the students after calls from DPI and the Williston Herald. Things DPI looks at when a school district wants to turn into a K-12 are: curriculum, staffing, transportation and extracurricular activities. “In my opinion, it’s a process that needs to be looked at slowly so the students are served in the best way possible,” Marthaller said. “If they decide to become a K-12, they need a good planning process.” The district’s current plan

Heitkamp stays mum on rumored 2016 gov. run By Grace Lyden Forum News Service

FARGO — North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp gave a firm non-answer Monday when asked whether she plans to run for governor in 2016. “What I’m doing right now is trying to figure out how I can get things done for North Dakota in the United States Senate,” she said at a meeting with The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead’s editorial board. “I am very interested in seeing how this new Congress can and cannot work, and so I am really focused.” The first-term senator did say “the proof is in the past” regarding her desire to be governor, a reference to her failed bid in 2000. Heitkamp called the post “the greatest honor that you can have from the people of North Dakota,” and said it was not unusual to move from senator to governor. She also criticized a bill

that a state lawmaker has proposed changing the way North Dakota would replace a vacancy in Heitkamp its congressional delegation. That proposal would require a special election to fill a vacancy, instead of an appointment by the governor to fill out the term, which could create a disincentive for Heitkamp to run for governor, as she wouldn’t be able to appoint a Democrat to the Senate. State Rep. Roscoe Streyle of Minot, the bill’s author, said Heitkamp’s rumored gubernatorial bid “was on my mind” when he wrote it. When asked her thoughts on the bill, Heitkamp said,

Minot denies loan, pushes parking contractor for schedule MINOT (AP) — The Minot City Council has rejected a request for a $1.2 million loan from the developers of two downtown parking ramps and instead given the prime contractor a week to submit a revised cost and construction schedule for the troubled project. If that doesn't happen, the city could file a claim with the contractor's bonding company to get money to complete the stalled struc-

tures, according to City Finance Director Cindy Hemphill. "The thought was that it would be completed by October or November in 2014. As anybody can see, we still have two large holes in the ground," she said. Two parking lots were torn up in November 2013 so that construction could begin on the ramps that are to provide 225 parking spaces, but activity stopped

HEITKAMP: Would make ‘formidable’ candidate special election bill. Gov. Jack Dalrymple has not said whether he will run for re-election in 2016 – a variable that Oban believes will affect which Democrats join the race. “He’s enjoying his job, he’s very focused on this legislative session and moving the state forward, and as far as the next election cycle, he said that it’s just too early for that,” Dalrymple’s spokesman Jeff Zent said on Monday. Like Heitkamp, Dalrymple is focused on the current session and doesn’t have a timeframe in mind for a campaign announcement, Zent said.

“I have no thoughts, other than, there wasn’t much thinking involved.” Chad Oban, executive director of the North Dakota Democratic Party, said “Democrats are excited” about the possibility of a run by Heitkamp, the only sitting statewide-elected Democrat in North Dakota. “There’s no doubt that Senator Heitkamp is a formidable candidate in any race she takes on,” he said. He added that “Republicans are frightened by the prospect of Senator Heitkamp running for governor,” as evidenced by the

“He said there’ll be time enough to address the question of whether he’s going to run again,” Zent said. Oban said he did not expect challenger announcements anytime soon. “I think we could get well into this year, into the fall, before we see candidates start announcing, but time will tell,” he said. When asked how early she would need to make an announcement, Heitkamp said the earlier, the better, for the party’s sake. “You don’t want to be without a candidate,” she said. “That’s one lesson I’ve learned; you make decisions early.”

BISMARCK (AP) — A Williston man has been sentenced to more than seven years in prison on illegal weapons charges. Twenty-eight-year-old Ronald Gibbons pleaded guilty in federal court on two counts of possession of firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon. Authorities say Gibbons was found with a loaded handgun in his vehicle after he was stopped for a traffic violation in April 2014. He was charged in state court and released on bond. Two months later, Gibbons was pulled over for operating a motorcycle with an expired registration. He was found to have loaded gun magazine on him, and a witness saw him throw a gun that was recovered by police.

Government predicts shale slowdown as oil prices fall By JONATHAN FAHEY AP Energy Writer

DJ Allred contemplates the explosion that tore apart this tanker in October 2014 and took the life of his best friend Dustin Payne, a Marine Corps veteran who worked in North Dakota's oilfields.

N.D. workplace deaths examined in TV report By Amy Dalrymple Forum News Service

WILLISTON — Before North Dakota oil worker Dustin Payne died last fall, he sent text messages to his girlfriend about safety conditions on the worksite. “I’m literally going to be welding something that’s full of oil. … Don’t (feel) comfortable welding this at all. Dangerous as (expletive).” Payne, a 28-year-old Marine Corps veteran from Alabama, died from injuries he suffered last Oct. 3 when a tanker he was welding in Williston exploded. An investigative report airing Monday on Al Jazeera America featuring interviews with his family and friends shows that Payne had voiced concerns to his employer about safety conditions, and a legal investigator interviewed by “Fault Lines” says the death could have been prevented. Correspondent Josh Rushing and his team spent six months investigating working conditions in the Bakken, including traveling around the country to interview families of men who died in

North Dakota and injured workers who are recovering. Other findings in the episode, “Death on the Bakken Shale,” include: -- A North Dakota oil worker tells Rushing he has spent as many as 69 hours straight on a job site and has fallen asleep in a crane while operating it. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration does not regulate how many hours employees work. -- OSHA has nine full-time compliance officers assigned to the Bismarck area office, and some estimates show it would take decades for OSHA to inspect every workplace in North Dakota. -- OSHA fines for oil companies with safety violations are often not substantial enough to be punitive. Payne’s death is still under investigation by OSHA, Scott Overson, assistant director of the Bismarck area OSHA office, said Friday in an interview with Forum News Service. Payne worked for Nabors Completion and Production Service, Overson said. Payne’s family learned that

he had been asked to weld on a tanker that had contained salt water, a byproduct of oil production that contains hydrocarbons, the “Fault Lines” report says. “What happened to Dustin unfortunately was very avoidable,” Ross Rolshoven, investigator for Great Plains Claims, says in the episode. “The truck should have been put outside for 24 hours and checked for flammable gas.” Nabors did not comment for the TV program, and a message seeking comment for Forum News Service was not returned Friday. The recent report by the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations that found North Dakota to have the highest fatality rate in the nation prompted the journalists to investigate the Bakken, Rushing said last week in an interview with Forum News Service. Understanding the dangers of the working conditions in the Bakken required Rushing and his team to travel around the country to talk to family members and injured workers who are recovering.

DISTRICT 8: Board fears state could defund K-8 From Page A1

is to add classes in tiers. The first year, it will offer ninth grade, and step up to 10th grade the second year until it offers all four years. The requirements to turn into a K-12 school district are found in Chapter 15.1-21 of North Dakota Century Code. One reason District 8 cited for transitioning into a K-12 district is the fear that K-8 schools may be defunded by the state. “It's something we have to do, because if we don’t, the school district will be dissolved eventually if the state legislature takes funding from K-8,” said District 8

President Dave Rockstad. It was implied by board member Curt Sullivan that Rep. Gary Sukut, R-Williston, is trying to help close K-8 districts. In an interview with the Williston Herald, Sukut said there are no current plans or talk in the Legislature of introducing a bill that would close K-8 schools. “By no means is there anything here that will eliminate elementary rural districts,” Sukut said. “That is an asinine statement.” One bill Sukut said could have implications for Williston school districts is House Bill 1188. This bill would allow

school districts in a city to petition the state board to have another district's annexed into its district. For example, if a housing development is located in Williston city limits, but attends District 8 schools, District 1 could ask the state to annex that development into District 1. Current law states the residents must appeal to the state for district annexation. “It's a streamlined process. It's not a mandate, it's a may. It's a bill that is out there that a school district can do this if they want,” Sukut said. znelson@willistonherald.com

Bill would void flaring, oil standards By Mike Nowatzki Forum News Service

BISMARCK — Contentious orders approved by North Dakota regulators to curb natural gas flaring and make Bakken crude oil safer for transport would be dragged back through a lengthy rulemaking process or become void under a bill sponsored by nine Republican lawmakers. A separate bill filed this week would also expand the state Industrial Commission’s makeup from three members to five, adding the state tax commissioner and Public Service Commission chairperson to the panel now consisting of the governor, attorney general and agriculture commissioner. A spokesman for Gov. Jack Dalrymple said the governor doesn’t see the need for either bill. “What problem is it that needs to be solved? We think the current Industrial Commission is doing a good job, including its work to reduce flaring and to ensure that Bakken oil has limited volatility,” Jeff Zent said. Rep. Keith Kempenich, RBowman, the lead sponsor of both bills, said the one pertaining to rulemaking procedures, House Bill 1187, is a reaction to the flaring goals and oil conditioning standards approved as orders by the Industrial Commission in July and December without going through the Legislature’s Administrative Rules Committee. “We need to be involved

Flaring regulations could be voided if a new bill passes. when they get into that broad of public policy,” he said, adding, “The Legislature was pretty much left out of the loop as far as what those policies were.” Kempenich said the committee likely would have rejected the flaring order, calling the goals “arbitrary.” The order adopted July 1 requires operators in the Bakken/Three Forks pools to meet gas capture goals of 77 percent by Jan. 1, 85 percent by January 2016 and 90 percent by October 2020, or have to scale back production. They met the first goal of 74 percent by Oct. 1. The goals were recommended by an industry task force. Department of Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms told lawmakers last week that operators have delayed well completions to meet the gas capture goals. He said it will be a “real stretch” for operators to

meet the 85 percent goal by January 2016, and officials have discussed pushing back the goal – a flexibility the commission has because it’s an order and not a hard-andfast rule, department spokeswoman Alison Ritter said.

is the main factor pulling down global oil prices. But those lower prices have already begun to force drillers to delay or cancel plans for new exploration, and the EIA expects a slip in onshore production in the second half of this year. Production from those fields is expected to peak at 7.4 million barrels per day in May, and fall to 7.2 million barrels per day by December. "Many oil companies have cut back on their exploration drilling in response to falling crude prices," EIA Administrator Adam Sieminski in a statement. For the year, average U.S. production, including output from Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico, is still expected to rise, but by the slowest rate in four years. If oil prices rise as expected in 2016, onshore oil production should climb again, and reach 9.5 million barrels per day, the second highest ever, after 1970's record 9.6 million barrels.

I received my B.A. from a small American university in London, England. The experience was life changing and I wouldn’t take it back for anything, but my student loans got pretty out of control while I was there. After I graduated I tried to make it in Seattle for a few years, but I was just scraping by on tips from serving and bartending. It turned out that, despite my international experiences, my lack of work in a professional field was crippling in the city. When one of the restaurants I was working for filed bankruptcy I decided that was my opportunity to come try my hand in Williston. I wanted out of the food service industry and I kept hearing you could get a job doing anything in North Dakota. I tried a few different jobs when I first arrived and after a few months I landed a job at the Williston Herald. It’s been a dream come true. I am saving money, gaining professional experiences and I am able to be creative at my job as well. I’ve had my ups and downs here like most people, but I try to remember what I am gaining from my time here, rather than dwell on what I’ve lost.

Josh Rushing / Fault Lines

NEW YORK (AP) - As oil's long slide continued, the Energy Department forecast Tuesday that production from U.S. shale operators will begin to tail off in the second half of the year. The decline would mark the first such drop in what has been a 6-year boom in U.S. onshore crude production. The price of oil fell Tuesday, dipping briefly under $45, before ending down 18 cents to $45.89 a barrel. That's the lowest since the spring of 2009, and a drop of 58 percent over the past six months. Oil fell after the energy minister for the United Arab Emirates, a member of OPEC, suggested that the cartel will not lower production to reduce global supplies in an effort to reverse falling prices. Brent crude, an international benchmark used to price oil used by many U.S. refineries, fell 84 cents to

close at $46.59 a barrel in London. Low crude prices are leading to significant savings for buyers of diesel, gasoline, jet fuel and heating oil. Typical U.S. households will spend $750 less on gasoline this year than in 2014, because the average gasoline price will fall to $2.33 per gallon, from $3.36 last year, the Energy Department also forecast Tuesday. The national average stood at $2.12 a gallon Tuesday, according to AAA, the lowest in nearly 6 years. The forecast was part of a monthly outlook released by the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration. It was EIA's first outlook to include forecasts for 2016. Onshore fields in North Dakota, Texas and elsewhere have driven the enormous increase in U.S. crude oil production over the past 6 years.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Jan. 14, the 14th day of 2015. There are 351 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 14, 1784, the United States ratified the Treaty of Paris ending the Revolutionary War; Britain followed suit in April 1784. On this date: In 1814, the Treaty of Kiel ended hostilities between Denmark and Sweden, with Denmark agreeing to cede Norway to Sweden, something Norway refused to accept. In 1900, Puccini’s opera “Tosca” had its world premiere in Rome. In 1914, Ford Motor Co. greatly improved its assembly-line operation by employing an endless chain to pull each chassis along at its Highland Park plant. In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and French General Charles de Gaulle opened a wartime conference in Casablanca. In 1952, NBC’s “Today” show premiered, with Dave Garroway as the host, or “communicator.” In 1954, Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio were married at San Francisco City Hall. (The marriage lasted about nine months.) In 1963, George C. Wallace was sworn in as governor of Alabama with the pledge, “Segregation forever!” — a view Wallace later repudiated. Sylvia Plath’s novel “The Bell Jar” was published in London under the pen name “Victoria Lucas,” less than a month before Plath committed suicide.

Can McConnell really make the Senate better

To outsiders, some of the changes new Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will bring to the Senate might seem like inside baseball. But they could bring about a huge improvement in the way the Senate works. And that could in turn lead to a huge improvement in the way Washington works. McConnell’s restoration of what is called “regular order” will give both Republican and Democratic lawmakers something they have not had in eight years under Harry Reid: the chance to have actual input into the making of laws. Reid famously used Senate rules and proGuest cedures to block most of his fellow senators Column from offering amendments to bills under consideration. Of course that frustrated Byron minority Republicans, but it also frustrated York a lot of majority Democrats, who didn’t get to propose changes even though their party controlled the Senate. Now, McConnell promises to open up bills to proposed amendments, both in committee and on the Senate floor. The first example of that will be the Keystone pipeline, and already Democrats are lining up to offer amendments, something they rarely got to do under their own leader. “We are going to introduce amendments to make it more of a jobs bill,” Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer said recently. Schumer said Democrats will offer amendments to require American-made steel for the pipeline, to require that oil transported through the pipeline be used in America, and to add clean energy jobs. Can anyone imagine Reid giving Republicans comparable freedom on any bill at all, much less a controversial measure like Keystone? “There are people who have worked in the Senate for seven or eight years who have never seen this happen,” says one GOP aide. How often will it happen in the new regime? The majority leader has the power to allow regular order, or not, on any given piece of legislation. McConnell has not pledged to allow it 100 percent of the time. But he told Roll Call that not allowing amendments should be “an exception rather than the rule.” McConnell has also said that after last November’s elections, he received a lot of calls from Democrats wondering whether he would really go through with his promise to restore their rights. The answer is yes. But some Republicans see the restoration as even more significant for the majority party than for the minority. “The reason why that is so important is not because of Republican versus Democrat, but because of the tension between rank and file and leadership,” says another GOP aide. “Outside the Senate, there might be some conservatives who say, ‘Why do you want to offer Democrats amendments when for years Democrats didn’t offer them to Republicans?’ But what if there’s a big immigration bill? Do you want the Republican rank-and-file not to be able to offer amendments?” In that sense, by opening up the Senate, McConnell could be buying himself some headaches from his own party. Indeed, it could be argued that the move will empower some of the Republican senators -- Ted Cruz and Mike Lee come to mind -- who have sometimes antagonized the leadership. Some might see that as a green light for them to make trouble. “Nonsense,” says an aide to Lee. “I wouldn’t characterize a senator exercising his or her institutional rights as ‘making trouble.’ What it will do is allow each senator the right to fully represent the interests of their constituents and finally get back to a substantive debate on policy reforms.” That’s all good. And Republican leaders hope the change will have other salutary effects. Committees will become more active, with members taking a greater part in shaping legislation. The work week will lengthen. (Under Reid, senators often came in on Tuesday afternoon and left late Thursday; now, they can expect an honest-to-God five-day week.) With all that, the hope is, senators of both parties will actually work with each other more. “If people feel like they have the opportunity to make their points, the place becomes a more collegial body,” says one of the aides. The hope is that “we’ll be able to turn this into a legislating body instead of a campaign studio, which is the way it has been for eight years.” Of course, it might not work. But there’s no doubt Senate leaders need to institute reforms after Reid’s ugly and divisive tenure. And if things go as planned, McConnell’s restoration could become a ding-dong-the-witch-is-dead moment that revitalizes the Senate. Byron York is chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner.

Letter to the editor

How will current government be remembered by its future people? As the legislative session is upon us I think to Governor Art Link and his legacy of balancing progress and prosperity. Will our current administration be remembered for protecting the livelihood of our future generations? “We do not want to halt progress. We do not plan to be selfish and say “North Dakota will not share its energy resource.” No, we simply want to insure the most efficient and environmentally sound method of utilizing our precious coal and water resources for the benefit of the broadest number of people possible. And when we are through with that and the landscape is quiet again, when the draglines, the blasting rigs, the power shovels and the huge gondolas cease to rip and roar! And when the last bulldozer has pushed the last spoil pile into place, and the last patch of barren earth has been seeded to grass or grain, let those who follow and repopulate the land be able to say, our grandparents did their job well. The land is as good and, in some cases, better than before. Only if they can say this will we be worthy of the rich heritage of our land and its resources.” –Governor Art Link Scott Meiers Ross DRC member and mineral owner

Food

Poll: Many back labeling of GMOs By MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two thirds of Americans support labeling of genetically modified ingredients on food packages, even if they may not read them, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll. Fewer Americans say genetically modified ingredients are important in judging whether a food is healthy. About 4 in 10 said the presence of such ingredients was very or extremely important. "If they are cheaper and they taste right to me, I'll buy it," says Jay Jaffe, of Philadelphia, who strongly supports labeling. Five things to know about Americans' support for labeling of genetically modified ingredients: IT'S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST GMOs Genetically modified organisms are foods grown from seeds engineered in labs. Jaffe says he has no problem buying GMOs, but he thinks there should be accountability in the food industry. "It should be there and not in small print," he said of GMO labels. "People should be able to make a choice." Genetically modified seeds are engineered to have certain traits, such as resistance to herbicides or certain plant diseases. Most of the country's corn and soybean crop is now genetically modified, with much of that becoming animal feed. Modified corn and soybeans are also made into popular processed food ingredients such as corn oil, corn starch, high-fructose corn syrup and soybean oil. Currently, the Food and Drug Administration doesn't require labeling of genetically modified foods and says those on the

market are safe. Consumer advocates backing labeling say shoppers have a right to know what is in their food, arguing not enough is known about their effects. FEW OPPOSE LABELING According to the December AP-GfK poll, 66 percent of Americans favor requiring food manufacturers to put labels on products that contain genetically modified ingredients. Only 7 percent are opposed to the labeling, and 24 percent are neutral. Of those who say it is only moderately important to them if a food contains genetically modified ingredients, 68 percent still favor labeling. And of those who say it isn't important to them whether a food contains genetically modified ingredients, only 20 percent oppose a labeling requirement. Half of those people are neutral. SUPPORT CUTS ACROSS GROUPS Public support for labeling GMOs was bipartisan, with 71 percent of Democrats and 64 percent of Republicans favoring labeling. Among conservative Republicans, more than 6 in 10 favor a labeling requirement. Fifty-six percent of Americans under 30 favor a labeling requirement — the lowest of any age group. Among that age group, 8 percent oppose labeling, though, with most of the remainder saying they are neutral. STATE LABELING EFFORTS ARE MIXED Despite the wide public support, many state efforts have faltered as the food industry and seed companies like Monsanto have aggressively fought attempts to force labeling. Ballot initiatives to require labeling

were narrowly defeated in California, Washington and Oregon in recent years. Vermont became the first state to require labels for genetically modified foods last year, passing a law in May that will take effect in 2016 if it survives legal challenges. Maine and Connecticut passed laws before Vermont, but those measures don't take effect unless neighboring states follow suit. CONGRESS MAY WEIGH IN The food industry has pushed a bill in Congress that would block the state efforts. The bill by Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kansas, would reaffirm that such food labels are voluntary, overriding any state laws that require them. In a December congressional hearing on the issue, members of both parties were less inclined than the public to support labeling. Many questioned whether mandatory GMO labels would be misleading to consumers since there is little scientific evidence that such foods are unsafe. The AP-GfK Poll of 1,010 adults was conducted online Dec. 4-8, using a sample drawn from GfK's probability-based KnowledgePanel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. Respondents were first selected randomly using phone or mail survey methods, and later interviewed online. People selected for KnowledgePanel who didn't otherwise have access to the Internet were provided access at no cost to them. AP Director of Polling Jennifer Agiesta and News Survey Specialist Emily Swanson contributed to this report.

Crockpot Chicken Taco Meat is an an easy way to spice up weeknight dinners. Below, Warm up from the cold with a bowl of Chicken Taco Soup.

Taco night done right Slow cooker adds depth to tacos, soup By Jessica Karley Rerick Forum News Service

GRAND FORKS — I have done a few different articles on cooking in a Crock-Pot, but I figured that one can never have too many slow cooker meals in their arsenal, right? One of my latest family favorites to prepare is Crock-Pot Chicken Tacos. This dish is really easy and only takes 10 minutes to prepare, plus the additional four hours of cooking time. I start by searing boneless, skinless chicken thigh meat, diced onion, celery and olive oil in the bottom of the slow cooker until the chicken is slightly browned and the onions are translucent. Most slow cookers don't get to a high enough heat to get a proper sear on the meat, unless you have a multi-cooker. I will admit that I was skeptical when I made the purchase, but it has really turned out to be one of the MVPs of my kitchen appliances. If you don't have one, just place the chicken thighs, olive oil, celery and onions in a saute pan, cook on medium high heat until ready, then add to the slow cooker. Add 1 jar chipotle salsa, a few cloves of garlic, frozen orange juice concentrate, cumin, chili powder, fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. The frozen orange juice concentrate and lime juice add natural sugars to the meat that will help the caramelization process and add a sense of depth to the flavor of the meat. You can make this dish as hot as you like by adding in fresh jalapenos, extra chipotles or red chili flakes, but I find this recipe is a good starting point that pleases even the tiniest mouths in my family. Now, in all fairness, I must warn you that the smell of this cooking in the crockpot is sure to attract a few hungry members of your household to the kitchen (or even your new brother-in-law, Jeff). I also will say that I got a few fist bumps from the boys because it was taco night. To complete your taco night spread, I like to set

out the usual taco toppings such as diced tomatoes, black olives, onions, cilantro and, of course, sour cream. In my house, we usually sub in Greek yogurt, and no one is the wiser. As if this meal wasn't good enough, how about if I tell you that you are well on your way to completing two meals for the week? Great, right? This chicken taco meat is also the key part of Chicken Taco Soup. To make the taco soup, I start with 1 cup chopped yellow onion and one chopped bell pepper. You can choose any color of pepper you like; I just happened to have an orange bell pepper around, so that's what I went with. Once that mixture has been sauteed in a soup kettle, I add two packages of taco seasoning, one can each of both kidney and black beans, one cup of frozen corn, two 13-ounce cans of Rotel, and one cup of tomato sauce. Once the mixture gets a chance to cook and the flavors meld, it's ready to be served with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, sour cream and any other topping you like. Any and all of the previously mentioned taco toppings work great for the soup and also enable you to use up the ingredients you bought just for taco night. Two meals with nearly the same shopping list -- not a bad way to plan your meals for the week. Crockpot Chicken Tacos 3 lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup diced yellow onion

1 cup diced celery 2 cups chipotle salsa ⅓ cup frozen orange juice concentrate 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons cumin 2 tablespoons chili powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper For tacos: 12-16 corn tortillas ½ cup diced onion ½ cup sliced black olives 1 cup diced tomatoes 1 diced avocado ½ cup chopped cilantro 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt In a multi-cooker, saute the chicken thighs, onions, and celery in olive oil until chicken is slightly browned and onions and celery are soft. Add salsa, orange and lime juices, garlic, cumin, chili powder, kosher salt and cracked pepper. Cook on low heat for six hours or high heat for three to four hours. When done cooking, shred with two forks, turn heat to high or sear, and let simmer until liquid is almost evaporated. Serve with corn tortillas, chopped onions, black olives, tomatoes, avocados, cilantro and sour cream or Greek yogurt. Chicken Taco Soup 1 cup diced yellow onion 1 bell pepper, any color, diced 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic 2 cups Crockpot Chicken Taco Meat 2 packages taco seasoning 2 14-ounce cans of Rotel 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 15-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

ISU conducts study to test modified bananas AMES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa State researcher plans to test genetically modified bananas on a select group of students at the university, though some people have expressed concerns about the nature of the research. Wendy White, a food science professor leading the study, will put 12 women on a diet that includes both regular bananas and bananas infused with a gene to aid vitamin A production. They'll follow the specified diet for four days during three study periods. The Des Moines Register

reports that volunteers will also undergo blood tests to gage how their bodies react. Participants will be paid $900. White said the ultimate goal of the study is to help increase vitamin A consumption in Africa. She said vitamin A deficiency is a major contributor in childhood death from infectious diseases. Residents in some African countries don't prefer the type of banana that naturally carries the gene prompting vitamin A production, White said. The altered bananas, developed by scientists in Australia, have

such a gene included, which White said could improve vitamin A levels. Dave Schubert, a California scientist, said he's concerned about feeding the modified fruit to humans if an animal trial has not yet been conducted to verify the safety. White was unavailable to comment on whether such a safety test was carried out on the bananas. Federal officials, however, have determined similar genetically modified foods safe, and a variety of such fruits and vegetables are already being consumed.

Romney sparks new 2016 competition among GOP establishment-minded By STEVE PEOPLES and THOMAS BEAUMONT Associated Press

Christophe Ena/Associated Press

The new chief editor of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, Gerard Biard, left, and columnist Patrick Pelloux, right, comfort cartoonist Luz during a press conference in Paris, France, Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2015. Twelve people died when two masked gunmen assaulted the newspaper’s offices on Jan. 7, including much of the editorial staff and two police. It was the beginning of three days of terror around Paris that saw 17 people killed before the three Islamic extremist attackers were gunned down by security forces. Charlie Hebdo had faced repeated threats for depictions of the prophet, and its editor and his police bodyguard were the first to die.

Defiant Charlie Hebdo fronts Muhammad, drawing threats PARIS (AP) — Charlie Hebdo released a new version of its irreverent and often offensive newspaper Tuesday, defiantly putting a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad on the cover that drew immediate criticism and threats of more violence. The newspaper also skewered other religions among its normal targets, and ran a double-page spread illustrating Sunday's march in Paris that drew more than a million people to condemn terrorism, claiming that the turnout was larger "than for Mass." Twelve people died when two masked gunmen assaulted the newspaper's offices last week, including much of the editorial staff and two police officers. It was the beginning of three days of terror around Paris that saw 17 people killed before the three Islamic extremist attackers were gunned down by security forces. Charlie Hebdo planned an unprecedented print run of 3 million copies of the latest issue on Wednesday. The surviving staff members are using the offices of the Liberation newspaper, which has loaned out space. Charlie Hebdo had faced repeated threats and a firebombing for depictions of the prophet, and its editor and his police bodyguard were the first to die. Many Muslims believe all images of the prophet are blasphemous. The latest cover shows a weeping Muhammad, holding a sign reading "I am Charlie" with the words "All is forgiven" above him. Zineb El Rhazoui, a journalist with the newspaper, said the cover meant the journalists are forgiving the extremists for the attack. Renald Luzier, the cartoonist who drew the cover image under the pen name "Luz" said it represents "just a little guy who's crying." Then he added, unapologetically: "Yes, it is Muhammad." Before the new edition was even released, one of Egypt's top Islamic authorities had warned Charlie Hebdo against publishing more cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Dar al-Ifta, which is in charge of issuing religious edicts, called the planned cover an "unjustified provocation" for millions of Muslims who respect and love their prophet and warned the cartoon would likely spark a new wave of hatred. Indeed, criticism and threats immediately appeared on militant websites, with calls for more strikes against the newspaper and anonymous threats from radicals, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, a U.S.-based terrorism monitor. The latest issue of Charlie Hebdo maintained the intentionally offensive tone that made the newspaper famous in France. The first two pages included drawings by the slain cartoonists: one showed a much-loved late French

nun talking about oral sex; another showed Muslim, Christian and Jewish leaders dividing up the world. The lead editorial laid out a vigorous defense of secularism, and of the newspaper's right to lampoon religions and hold their leaders accountable — and ended with a critique of the pope. "For the past week, Charlie, an atheist newspaper, has achieved more miracles than all the saints and prophets combined," it read. "The one we are most proud of is that you have in your hands the newspaper that we always made." But most of the controversy centered on the cover and its depiction of the Prophet Muhammad. Around the world, news organizations took different approaches to illustrating stories about the Charlie Hebdo cover. In the United States, a CBS program and The New York Post ran images of the cover, while the ABC network didn't. The New York Times also didn't publish it, but included a

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A shake-out among fiery conservatives with White House ambitions was always a sure thing. Now it appears the competition among the more establishment-minded GOP candidates for president will end up just as fierce. With Mitt Romney's move in the past week toward launching a third run for president, there are three high-profile Republicans from the party's mainstream suddenly competing for the same group of elite donors and staffing talent, just as the crowded 2016 presidential primary season begins. And that list — Romney, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — doesn't even include a group of Midwestern governors, led by Wisconsin's Scott Walker, who also fit the mold of accomplished, economicminded executives driven as much by a pragmatic approach to governing as their conservative ideology. "We've never seen any-

link to it. CNN didn't show the cover online or on the air. The Associated Press had not run previous Charlie Hebdo cartoons showing Muhammad, and declined to run the latest one as well, based on its policy to avoid images designed to provoke on the basis of religion. In Europe, Spain's leading daily newspapers published the image online and the state broadcaster showed it on news bulletins. In Britain, The Times of London, the Guardian and the Independent went with the image, while The Daily Telegraph didn't. The BBC showed the new cover on news programs. Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Der Spiegel and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung all used it on their websites.

thing remotely like it," said Rick Wilson, a Floridabased Republican consultant who has advised presidential campaigns. "There's no analogous situation with three bigfoot characters in the mix." The abundance of Republican presidential prospects who put economic policy ahead of social issues comes after GOP congressional leaders succeeded last year in beating back primary challenges from farther-right, tea party-affiliated candidates on their way to reclaiming control of the Senate. It also sets up a potential contest of mainstream Republicans not seen since 2000, when George W. Bush was the favorite in a crowded field, or 1988, when then-Vice President George H. W. Bush was the heavy favorite. Not one of the ambitious Republicans has formally entered the race yet. But more than a dozen candidates are preparing for what is widely seen as a once-ina-generation opportunity — an open White House and no Republican heir apparent with a claim to the nomina-

tion. The group features no shortage of conservatives with untested mainstream appeal, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson. Carson joins Romney on the agenda at this week's Republican National Committee winter meeting in San Diego, where another cultural conservative favorite, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and Wisconsin's Walker are also slated to appear. Other would-be presidential contenders are sending senior aides to the three-day meeting to gauge interest in a prospective run. Romney was added to the program just 36 hours before Wednesday's opening session, having spent much of the weekend phoning leading Republicans and key former supporters across the country to signal serious interest in a 2016 campaign. The development seemed unthinkable a week earlier, when Bush and Christie were seen as more than capable of satisfying the establishment's desire for mainstream candidates with White House-worthy resumes.

2 NDSU players propose to girlfriends on field after big win FARGO (AP) — Two women have rings of their own following North Dakota State University’s win on Saturday in the Football Championship Subdivision title game — not championship rings but engagement rings. WDAY-TV reports that two NDSU players proposed to their girlfriends while fans were storming the field in Frisco, Texas, following NDSU’s 29-27 win over Illinois State. It was the fourth consecutive national title for the Bison. NDSU offensive lineman Zac Johnson proposed to Trisha Goerts, and offensive lineman Jesse Hinz proposed to Gretchen Folkerts. Both women said yes. Hinz and Folkerts likely will wed this summer, while Johnson and Goerts are eyeing a summer 2016 wedding.

Tetons skate past Bottineau Big 2nd period lifts WSC to 6-1 win BY MARK JONES WILLISTON HERALD

The Williston State College hockey team picked up 6-1 win over Dakota College at Bottineau Tuesday night in Bottineau. It was the first meeting of the season between the North Dakota junior college rivals. The Tetons scored four times in the second period to take control of the contest. Eric Behrend, Wade Weisgerder, Spencer Poratalo and Marvin Powell all found the back of the net for the Tetons in the decisive period. Shain Scheschuk and Powell scored for the Tetons in the third period to cap the scoring. The Lumberjacks lone goal

came in the second as Frank Flight scored an unassisted goal. The two teams will play again this evening at the Agri-Sports Complex. The Tetons are coming off a three-game road trip to Utah where they went 1-2. Williston State won at Weber State on Sunday 4-3 in overtime.

Jets close to agreement to hire Bowles as coach NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Jets are close to an agreement with Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles to make him their head coach, according to two people with knowledge of the negotiations. Bowles told ESPN in a text that he was taking the job, but the people told The Associated Press that no agreement had been completed as of late Tuesday night. The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been finalized. A few hours after hiring Mike Maccagnan as their general manager, the

Jets were closing in on signing the 51-year-old Bowles to replace Rex Ryan, who was fired, along with GM John Idzik, on Dec. 29 after six seasons. Bowles, a highly sought candidate after leading Arizona’s defense the last two seasons, had a second interview Tuesday with owner Woody Johnson and consultants Charley Casserly and Ron Wolf — along with Maccagnan — and apparently impressed the Jets enough to move forward. The team canceled a scheduled inter-

view with Carolina defensive coordinator Sean McDermott that was set for Wednesday. Bowles also called off a second meeting with the Arizona Falcons for their head coaching vacancy that was scheduled for Wednesday. It was believed that Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn was the front-runner for the job, but teams aren’t allowed to meet with him again until the Seahawks are eliminated or during the bye week before the Super Bowl.

Mo Williams scores 52, Wolves top Pacers to end 15-game skid INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Mo Williams could sense what was happening and knew the Indiana Pacers couldn’t stop it. He told them that, too. “When you are in the zone, you don’t know the magnitude of the game,” Williams said. “I am glad to put on a show.” He put on the best one in the NBA this season. Williams scored a careerhigh 52 points, most in the league this season, and the Minnesota Timberwolves snapped a 15-game losing streak with a 110-101 victory over the Pacers on Tuesday night. Williams also broke the Timberwolves’ franchise record. “Mo was unbelievable,” Minnesota coach Flip Saunders said. “I have been in the league 17 years and I have had some guys have hot games, but I don’t think I have had anybody where he was at. He did everything.” Williams surpassed the 46 points scored this season by both Carmelo Anthony and Pau Gasol, which had been tops in the NBA. He recorded the highestscoring game by an opponent in Bankers Life Fieldhouse and told the Pacers there was nothing they could do about it. “I was telling C.J. Watson during the game, I said, ‘There was nothing you are going to do today, don’t even worry about it,’” Williams said. Williams made six 3-pointers, including one that gave Minnesota a 102-96 lead. Andrew Wiggins added 20 points and Gorgui Dieng had 10 for the Timberwolves (6-31), who won for the first time since beating Portland 90-82 on Dec. 10. C.J. Miles had 22 points and C.J. Watson added 17 for the Pacers (15-25), who have lost three of four. Wiggins scored on a putback dunk and then converted a 3-pointer to give the Timberwolves a 93-90 lead with 4:29 remaining. But it was mostly Williams who powered the Wolves to just their third road victory. After a couple of 3-pointers earlier in the fourth quarter, he tied the game at 83 on three free throws, including one for a technical called on Ian Mahinmi with 7:10 remaining.

Fans welcome back Ohio State Buckeyes after winning national title 75 fans welcome back OSU from Texas COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Urban Meyer and the national champion Ohio State football team returned home to a rousing welcome on Tuesday. About 75 fans greeted the Buckeyes when they arrived at a Columbus airport, fresh off a 42-20 victory over Oregon at the inaugural championship game of the College Football Playoff on Monday night in Dallas. Meyer, the second coach to win national titles at two schools, walked over to the crowd inside the airport, shook hands and signed a few autographs. His players, including championship-game MVP Ezekiel Elliott, followed with high-fives for the fans. The players outside, some wearing the championship hats handed out at the game, slapped hands with fans who were bundled up in scarlet and gray hats and coats in 20-degree weather at

Rickenbacker International Airport. Tracy Stasiulewicz, of Ashville, was in tears at the airport, just like she was at the end of Monday night’s game. “We know their names. We’ve seen them play the whole time,” she said. “To me, it’s very emotional.” The Buckeyes, who defied naysayers to claim the national title after losing two starting quarterbacks to injuries, earned the final spot in the playoff. They upset Alabama and Oregon behind quarterback Cardale Jones, who was the Buckeyes’ third-stringer when fall camp opened. “You’ll never see anything like that again,” said Ron Chapman, a longtime Buckeyes fan from Pataskala. “It’s a great story to tell children about how to overcome adversity,” added his wife, Judy. Some of the players signed a few autographs at the airport before boarding buses for a short ride back to campus, where about 100 people were waiting to meet the team.

Plans for a formal celebration to honor the champions are still in the works, the university said Tuesday. The coaches and players didn’t make any remarks after returning to Columbus. Young children perched on their parents shoulders for a better view as the buses pulled into the fenced parking lot at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Cheers rose from the crowd as players went over to the fans, some of whom had waited outside for an hour. “I have goose bumps, and it’s not from the cold,” said Kim McMillen, of Cambridge, who was driving around campus in search of Ohio State shirts when she spotted the crowd. Terry Hickman of Beallsville, drove more than 2 hours to see the team. He’s been a volunteer usher at Ohio Stadium for two decades and admitted his faith began to waver this year when the Buckeyes struggled early in the season. “They’ve overcome a lot of adversity and injuries,” he said. “They bought into the program.”

James’ 33 in return not enough, Cavs lose sixth straight PHOENIX (AP) — LeBron James scored 33 points in his return from a two-week layoff but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Cleveland Cavaliers from going down to their sixth straight loss, 107-100 to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. Markieff Morris scored a career-high 35 points on 15of-21 shooting for the Suns, who outscored the Cavs 11-3 over the last 3:31.

Got a sports tip, question? Contact sports editor Mark Jones at 572-2165 ext. 140 or at sports@ willistonherald.com.

The Cavaliers rallied from a 19-point, third-quarter deficit to go ahead in the fourth, the first of eight lead changes down the stretch. J.R. Smith, who joined the Cavaliers during James’ absence, scored 29, going 8 of 14 on 3-pointers. James, who took the time off to rest his sore left foot and lower back, made 11 of 18 shots, 6 of 8 in the second half. The Cavaliers were 1-7 in James’ absence and have lost nine of 10 overall to fall below .500 at 19-20. The Suns, opening an eight-game homestand, have won 11 of 15. Kyrie Irving, who averages 21 points, scored nine of 4-of14 shooting for the Cavs. Cleveland was down 80-61 with 3:26 to play in the third quarter, then finished the period with an 18-5 flourish. In the final seconds of

the quarter, James made a thunderous dunk, then Smith stole the ball in backcourt and sank a 3-pointer at the buzzer to cut the Suns’ lead to 85-79 entering the fourth. The Cavaliers took their first lead since the opening minutes when Tristan Thompson dunked off a pass from James to make it 90-88 with 7:31 to play. James gave Cleveland its last lead, 9796, with a driving layup 3:52 from the finish. The Suns made nine of 11 free throws from there, the last four by P.J. Tucker in the final 18.1 seconds. Phoenix’s lone field goal in the final run was Alex Len’s tip-in. James had not played since Dec. 28 to rest his injuries. He practiced for the first time since then on Monday,

then flew to Texas to cheer on Ohio State in the national college football championship game. He said he got back at 12:30 a.m. The Cavaliers survived a big scare in the first half. With 9:12 left in the second quarter, James took an elbow to the head from Tucker and fell to the floor. He stayed there for a moment, surrounded by all his teammates, before slowly getting up. He stayed in the game, though. Later, Morris’ hand slammed into James’ face on a layup try. James’ first basket was a powerful reverse dunk from the baseline, then he ended the half with an equally impressive stuff, but the Suns led 59-51 at the break.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Miami dominates after halftime to stun No. 4 Duke 90-74 DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Angel Rodriguez scored 24 points and Miami shot 67 percent after halftime to upset No. 4 Duke 90-74 on Tuesday night, snapping the Blue Devils’ 41-game home winning streak. Manu Lecomte had a career-high 23 points for the Hurricanes (12-4, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who dominated the final 20 minutes with their pesky defense and attacking dribble penetration that the Blue Devils just couldn’t defend. Trailing 35-34 at the break, Miami shot 18-for-27 after halftime and hit 6 of 9 3-pointers — a stunningly one-sided show starring a team that lost by 28 points at home to Eastern Kentucky on Dec. 19. Duke (14-2, 2-2) hadn’t lost at Cameron Indoor Stadium since March 2012 and hadn’t lost consecutive regular-season games since February 2009. But much like Sunday’s loss at against North Carolina State, the Blue Devils were unable to slow a hotshooting team nor keep up at their own offensive end. The Blue Devils looked like they’d be playing to give Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski his 1,000th win this week against Louisville and fellow Hall of Famer Rick Pitino on Saturday. But Coach K is stuck on 997 wins after two surprising losses. Duke was coming off an 87-75 loss at N.C. State, a game that saw the Blue Devils trail for the first time at half all year then face their largest deficit of the season. The Wolfpack shot 55 percent and dominated after halftime to lead by as many as 19 in that one. Afterward, Krzyzewski talked about it being a lesson for his team about the intensity and aggressiveness needed for ACC regular-season play, something he said

his team could only learn through experience. Yet Miami offered up another harsh lesson for a team that was looking dominant only a few weeks ago. Miami led by as many as 20 late and scored 56 secondhalf points. Duke hadn’t trailed by more than six in a game before the past two games. NO, 1 KENTUCKY 86 MISSOURI 37 LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Aaron Harrison scored 16 points including five 3-pointers, and top-ranked Kentucky finally earned a conference victory in regulation by drilling Missouri 86-37 on Tuesday night. After needing overtime to beat Mississippi and Texas A&M by nine total points, the Wildcats (16-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) had the overmatched Tigers (7-9, 1-2) under control by halftime with a 44-18 lead. The margin eventually reached 49 in the final minute as Kentucky rolled to its most decisive outcome since last month’s 39-point rout of UCLA. Harrison played a big role in that by making most of the Wildcats’ eight longrange baskets. It was the second time in three games he has made at least five from behind the arc. Willie Cauley-Stein added 13 points and Karl-Anthony Towns 12 with 10 rebounds as Kentucky shot 48 percent from the field. The Wildcats also held Missouri to a season-low 27 percent and outrebounded the Tigers 46-27 including 30 defensive boards. Wes Clark and Keanu Post each had 10 points for the Tigers, who lost their second straight. Kentucky improved to 7-0 against Missouri and earned its biggest win over the Tigers.

How to handle a surrogate baby shower Dear Annie: My daughter and her husband are using a surrogate to have a baby. What do I do about a shower when someone else is carrying their child? It is my daughter’s first child, and she and her husband are in their late 40s. Should I make the shower for them as a couple? Does she not get a shower because someone else is actually pregnant with the child? I have no idea what is proper here. Please help. -- Grandma-To-Be Dear Grandma: It doesn’t matter who is carrying the child. Any new mother -- and your daughter will be one -- is entitled to a baby shower if someone wants to host one. Of course, it is better if the shower is given by friends and not immediate family, but these days few people pay attention to those rules. Couples showers have become more popular, since both Mom and Dad (presumably) are raising this child. Whether you do that or not is entirely your choice. Congratulations. Dear Annie: I would like to know why frail, elderly people get to “choose to stay in their home” while the rest of the family runs in circles trying to meet their needs. This is like asking a 2-yearold whether he wants to eat broccoli. My husband and I were stressed out and exhausted trying to care for our parents

because they wouldn’t leave their home. We all work fulltime, so we took turns making sure they were OK in their old house. No one could get Annie’s a night’s rest, Mailbox because the folks were up and down all night opening doors, turning on lights and once, even using the oven and going outside. People are living longer, and when severe physical frailty or dementia sets in, the family suffers. Not only is there the stress of caregiving, but also there is resentment that they refuse to be more helpful and cooperative about their living arrangements. I think some of this stress can lead to elder abuse. Why can’t family and social workers sign these folks up for assisted living? I understand personal freedom, but where is the freedom for the rest of the family? -- Still Stressed Out

ways pleasant choices to contemplate, but the alternative often turns out to be misery for everyone. And once a parent has dementia, it becomes both difficult and debilitating to remove them from familiar surroundings. Those who are adamant about remaining in their own homes should check out whether it is safe. Most people do not remain in perfect health and then suddenly drop dead. Does your home have stairs? Safety bars in the bathroom? Will you someday need to pay for a caregiver? If you become widowed, will the loneliness cause you to decline? At some point, each of us must decide whether staying in our home is truly the best decision, and how fair we are being to our loved ones.

Dear Stressed: Seniors who are still capable of making sound decisions should look into continuing care facilities that allow them to live independently until they are no longer able to do so, and then will transfer them to assisted living or nursing home care. These are not al-

Dear Annie: “Getting It off My Chest” moved out of state and is upset about relatives not visiting them. Here’s the other side of the story. Our family members also moved away. They expect us to travel because we are retired and they are working. By the time we visit four different states, we can’t afford trips to any other locations. Maybe “Getting” should look at how selfish they are. Their area may be beautiful, but how many times can we see it before it becomes boring? No one owes them a visit just because they didn’t like cold winters or sticky summers. -- Burned Out Travelers

qualities necessary to ably present and promote what you have to offer. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Focus on love, romance and relationships. Business events or seminars will be the perfect place to meet someone who shares your interests and concerns. Let things unfold naturally. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Make an effort to get along with your peers. Sharing information will help you form an alliance with someone who can help you advance, as long as you don’t reveal personal secrets. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Emotions will run high, causing problems with overly sensitive people. A hobby or solitary pastime will keep you out of trouble. Stay calm and avoid senseless disputes that could lead to irreconcilable differences. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Pay greater attention to the ones you love. By making someone feel special, you will gain respect and personal stability. Your thoughtful and caring disposition will be appreciated and reciprocated. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --

Don’t let a lack of confidence stop you from considering a new vocation or promising opportunity. Be proud of your accomplishments, but acknowledge what others do as well if you want to advance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A friend will ask for your advice. Compromise and common sense will come in handy when interacting with business associates. You will be inspired to start a new project. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Remain alert in order to protect your possessions and property. Change up your routine so that your schedule or habits don’t become too boring or predictable. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Differences of opinion can quickly escalate into an argument. Stick to basics as well as to the truth, and resist the urge to blame or find fault in others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Don’t let someone act on your behalf. Once you have decided what needs to be done, get on with the job. Constructive use of your time will leave room for recreation later.

Roberto Azevedo, a Brazilian diplomat and the current director-general of the World Trade Organization, said, “Each blockage is a blockage. Each impasse is an impasse. You have to find a solution; there is no recipe that fits each one of them.” Blockages can be dangerous in bridge. If it is, say, declarer’s singleton ace opposite dummy’s king-queen-jack, usually declarer should cash his ace as quickly as possible, then work out how to reach the dummy to cash those winners. Other blockages are less easy to anticipate. In this deal, how should South play in three no-trump after West leads the spade king? Declarer seems to have nine tricks: one spade, one heart, two diamonds and five clubs. In clubs, the textbooks say that a 3-2 split happens 67.8 percent of the time. What can possibly go wrong? The original declarer took the third trick with his spade ace, cashed his club ace and led his club three to dummy’s king. When East discarded a diamond, South crossed to his hand with a diamond and led the club nine, but when West did not cover with his jack, the suit was irreparably blocked. It is true that East might have played the club 10 from, say, J-10-x. But it could not have cost South to lead his club nine on the second round to dummy’s king. Then, when East discarded, South could have returned to his hand, led the club three to dummy’s eight and made the contract. When declarer is playing a spot card from his hand, it is often better to play the secondlowest rather than the lowest. Occasionally, that will even unblock a suit.

despite the loss of linebacker Sean Lee to a knee injury in the first offseason practice and constant change at that position because of other injuries. “He made our players better. He made our coaches better,” Garrett said of the 65-year-old Marinelli, the former Detroit coach and a candidate for NFL assistant coach of the year. “I thought the defense played remarkably well.” The Cowboys also have expiring contracts with dynamic receiver Dez Bryant, NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray and the man who engineered that offense, play-caller Scott Linehan. In his first season with Dallas, Linehan struck up a strong relationship with quarterback Tony Romo right away, and helped produce Romo’s most efficient season and the best rushing total in franchise history, breaking a mark set by all-time NFL rushing leader Emmitt Smith. The former coach in St. Louis, Linehan has surfaced as a potential candidate for several of those openings around the league. He was the offensive coordinator for five years in Detroit before coming to Dallas, and spent a year with Garrett on the Miami staff about a decade ago. “Came in here with a system of football that was in place with a lot of players and coaches that were in place and fit himself in and led that offensive unit really, really well,” Garrett said. “Like with Rod, I learn a lot from these guys on a daily basis.”

With NFL talk buzzing, Cardale Jones says he’s ‘not ready’ DALLAS (AP) — While Urban Meyer was doing most of the talking, Cardale Jones owned the room. Ohio State’s rising star quarterback was all big grins, silly smirks, rolling eyes and mischievous glances Tuesday, the day after he helped the Buckeyes roll Oregon 42-20 to win the first College Football Playoff national championship. Jones said that he’s not ready for the NFL. But after just three college starts, the 22-year-old, third-year sophomore is in a unique position. Should he stay or should he go? “Cardale’s brand right now has never been stronger, might never be stronger again in his life,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. On the other hand, the 6-foot-5, 250-pounder from Cleveland is still a raw — though enticing — prospect. “I’m amazed at the speed and quickness he has for a guy that weighs over 250 pounds,” said former NFL executive Gil Brandt, who now works as an analyst for the NFL Network. “But his passes, some are on the money, some are low,

some are high and some are wide.” Jones is eligible for early entry to the NFL draft because he is at more than three years removed from graduating high school. The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft is Thursday. Brandt said Jones has the talent to be selected, probably somewhere in the back half of the seven-round draft, but he would be better served developmentally by another year playing college football. But there is the rub: Ohio State could have three star quarterbacks on the roster next season with Jones, J.T. Barrett and Braxton Miller. Jones is not guaranteed to be the starter. It’s a strange position for Jones to find himself. Back in August, he was the Buckeyes’ third-stringer. But after Miller hurt his shoulder in the preseason and Barrett broke his ankle against Michigan, it was up to Jones to lead Ohio State the rest of the way. In three games against Wisconsin (Big Ten championship), Alabama (Sugar

Bowl semifinal) and Oregon, Jones was 46 of 75 for 742 yards passing and five touchdowns. “I mean, it’s very odd,” Jones said of going from Meyer’s doghouse to considering an NFL career in such a short time. “You know, I’m going to be starting three games in three years, and you know, guys play their whole career to have that buildup and have that motivation to play in the NFL. “In my personal opinion, I’m not ready for that level yet. I mean, like Coach Meyer said, it’s a conversation me and him will have later down the road. But to me right now, it’s far out.” So is Jones’ personality. Meyer has been blunt in talking about how Jones’ work ethic and maturity have been lacking over the last three years. The coach has seen a change he couldn’t have expected. “I mean, it’s kind of cool to be sitting here using the word NFL next to Cardale’s name,” Meyer said, a comment that prompted a sideways smile and giggle from Jones, who was sitting across from the coach on the

dais. “He certainly has talent. Is he ready right now? That’s a chat I guess we’ll go and have at some point, probably not right here in front of everybody.” Jones was goofing around with his teammates and coach after the national championship game Monday night, giving Meyer bunny ears as he sat for his postgame news conference and trying to distract Ezekiel Elliott with a cellphone while the running back answered questions. Jones seems to have the type of personality that could make him college football’s next click-bait star. He can’t cash in on that if he stays in college, but staying in Columbus, Ohio, might be best for him in the long run. Goofy is great for Twitter. The NFL is serious business. Is Jones ready for that? “Some guys change when they’re 50 years old, it’s too late,” Meyer said. “Other guys change when they’re going through the journey like we all did when we’re 17 to 21 years old, 22 years old in his case. Very proud of him. But we have not had that conversation yet.”

Garnett suspended 1 game, Howard fined $15,000 by NBA EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Kevin Garnett was suspended one game without pay Tuesday by the NBA for head-butting Dwight Howard, who received only a fine when the league ruled he didn’t retaliate with a punch. Howard was fined $15,000, the league announced in saying he pushed Garnett in the neck. NBA President of Basketball Operations Rod Thorn determined that Garnett initiated the altercation in the

Rockets’ 113-99 victory over Brooklyn on Monday night. “It’s an emotional game,” Nets coach Lionel Hollins said Tuesday after practice. “I’m not getting into why he did what he did, but it’s an emotional game and you compete and things happen. Tempers flare up a little bit and then you have to pay the consequences.” Garnett will miss the Nets’ game against Memphis on Wednesday night,

leaving Hollins without his starting power forward against his former team, led by Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph. “It’s going to be tough,” Hollins said. “It would have been tough with him, but it’s going to be tougher.” The altercation began with 7:53 left in the first quarter after Garnett fouled Howard. The two exchanged light shoves before Garnett threw the ball into Howard’s back.

Public Hearings Rachel Ressler, Planning and Zoning presented the following: A. Preliminary plat and zone change for two lots from A: Agriculture to C-2: General Commercial, for proposed St. Joes Subdivision, an unplatted 36.154 parcel at the ND Intersection of 32nd Ave W and the 11th St W, City of Williston - Hagan Family Partnership/Sanderson Stewart This plat is for 48.733 acres in the SW 1/4 and SE 1/4 and the SW 1/4 of Section 15. Property owner is Kathleen Hagan. The plat and zone change to be known as St. Josephʼs Subdivision. It is located at the NE intersection of 11th and 32nd. There is only a zone change on 16.701 acres of the 48.733 acres. It is not currently annexed in to the city but is in the Cityʼs extraterritorial jurisdiction. The plat shows the dedication of Bison Dr. through the property, following alignment laid out by the comprehensive plan and the update AE2S did earlier this year. Lot 2 and Block 1 are intended to remain agricultural and eventually proposed to be donated to the St. Josephʼs Catholic School. Lot 1 of Block 2 is also proposed to remain agricultural at the moment. A minor traffic study was conducted the ensure 11th St was capable of handling traffic from additional commercial properties. It appears that 11th St and 32nd St intersections are capable of handling the additional traffic. This was reviewed by SRF. It was also determined by engineering, planning and the applicant engineer that the best option in order to move forward with the current plat was to create an alignment on the plat that would allow some flexibility in the eastern alignment of the road. The final plat will reflect this. The ad hoc recommendation is for approval of a zone change from A: agricultural to C-2: General commercial for 16.701 acres in the SW 1/4 and SE 1/4 of the SW 1/4, Section 15, T154N R101W. and approval of a plat of 48.733 acres in the SW 1/4 and SE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 Section 15, T154N, R101W; contingent on staff comments and a development agreement being recorded. Mayor Klug opened the public hearing. Larry Slingsby, adjoin neighbor asked who decides where the streets go, so if he wants to discuss this item. Mr. Slingsby stated when the creek is crossed it will be crossing an area with quick sand on his property. Mr. Slingsby feels this should be rethought due to the cost of getting a foundation etc. He also feels the traffic is a hazard. Mayor Klug stated the conversations between Mr. Slingsby and the engineer should continue and that when a consultant is brought in they would discuss the soils condition of Mr. Slingsbyʼs land and traffic flow issues with him at that time. Mayor Klug called for a second and third time for comments on the item. Mayor Klug closed the public hearing.

Accounts, Claims and Bills Not Approved in the Consent Agenda 6. Ordinances Samantha Neill, Planning and Zoning presented the following: A. Ordinance 1007- Landscaping-first reading The original 1983 Landscaping Ordinance required that landscaping be installed within 12 months of the Certificate of Occupancy. On October 9, 2012 Ordinance 959 was adopted allowing the developer portions of two consecutive growing seasons to install required landscaping (May 4 to September 28-inclusive). It also allowed for the City to back charge the properties in violation through special assessments. On September 16, 2013 staff presented another amendment to the planning commission to allow for additional enforcement remedy which allows the applicant to post a performance bond which would enable the City to utilize such allocated funds to complete the required landscaping if the applicant defaults. This was tabled and it was suggested staff further evaluate the possibility of including paving as part of the performance bond requirement and the possibility of adding flexibility in the enforcement language which allows the applicant to be notified in advance upon an upcoming deadline. Following this meeting the Building dept. and the Planning Dept. agreed the Building Official would have the ability to enforce the landscaping requirement and administer any potential fines. A new installation timeline was discussed as well as the installation of boulevard trees (synonymous with street trees in this ordinance). The topic of paving was also discussed, as requested and will be integrated into the building inspection process. Proposed Ordinance 1007 seeks to require that existing lots maintain their existing landscaping, redefines the installation timeline, deletes the previous performance bond requirement and allows for the Building Official to have the power to administer stricter penalties as outlined in Chapter 5 “Buildings and Building Regulations” Article XII- “Violations” of Williston Code of Ordinances. The installation timeline will implement a cutoff date of July 31st, and any Conditional Certificate of Occupancy issued on or after that date, the developer has until July 21st of the following calendar year to install the required landscaping. This ordinance further clarifies that the installation of boulevard tress shall be the responsibility of the builder/contractor at the time of construction on existing property. With regard to new subdivisions and development agreements, boulevard trees shall be installed on arterial streets and perimeter subdivision streets at the time of street construction or completion of the curb and gutter by the developer. The ordinance also adds an exemption to the requirement of boulevard trees when an existing construction is built in such a way as to preclude any ability to provide landscaping on the property. The Planning and Zoning Department may make that determination. The building Official will retain the ability to enforce this requirement and administer fines, including the ability to revoke a Certificate of Occupancy. The Planning Commission recommends approval of Ordinance 1007. Discussion was held regarding some flexibility in this ordinance should the landscaping need to be held off longer than stated in the ordinance due to developing issues. It was decided new language would be added to add that flexibility. Mr. Kautzman, stated since this was the first reading it is a possibility to bring any changes back at the second reading.

The memo recaps a fairly large toll; $655,056.11. Two major components to this number are Ambulance and Municipal Court making up most of this dollar amount. Ambulance is normal to experience potentially up to a 45% bad debt with normal conditions. Williston is experiencing 51%. This has been turned over to collection and collection efforts will continue. MOTION BY BEKKEDAHL, SECONDED BY BROSTUEN, to approve the 2014 $655,056.11 for the bad debt write off with the caveat that we continue to pursue the bad debt collection AYE: Piesik, Cymbaluk, Brostuen, Bekkedahl, Klug NAY: NONE ABSENT AND NOT VOTING: NONE CARRIED: 5-0 Taylor Olson, City Attorney presented the following: B. Attorney (1) Liquor License Review There were five specific violations in the affidavit presented to the city attorney. Those five are Section 3-17, 3-19, 3-73, 3-75 and 3-81. Section 3-17 and 3-19 pertains to

minor in the licensed premise and serving alcohol to a minor. 3-73 is the sale or use of alcohol on a street. 3-75 is acts prohibited on licensed premise. 3-81 is sale to overly intoxicated individuals. The last hearing on these two establishments was April 23, 2013. At that time the hearing was held on 3-73, 3-75 and 3-71. This time #17 and #19 have been added. It has been 595 days since the last hearing. At the time of the first hearing there were 120 calls (tallied from the previous three years) for police to respond to calls to Heartbreakers and Whisper areas combined. At that time breakdown was not done on specific calls and what they pertained to. This time the total number of calls is 189 calls in 595 days which is roughly calls 69 more calls in half the amount of time. After the last hearing the calls have not gone down and have in fact gone up. Of the 189 calls, 101 calls were to respond to incidents at Whispers. 31 of the 101 of those were for welfare checks, six of those 101 were calls that did not necessarily have to do with Whispers, but the business named was brought up in passing and so it brought them up in the search for calls. 20 of the 101 were for fights and of those 20 calls for fights, six people were transferred by ambulance to Mercy Medical and one of those people was detoxed. There were eight other arrests such as DUI, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest etc. There were seven traffic calls which include parking or minor traffic accidents. There were four vandalism calls and all pertained to slashed tires. There were 14 unruly patron calls including calls such as cab owners calling with problems from patrons that had been picked up from the mentioned establishments. Two times a search warrant was executed. There was one lost wallet, one fake ID, three hit and runs, two stolen vehicles and one junk ordinance. Of the 101 calls, 88 pertained to Heartbreakers. Six were welfare checks, 13 were calls that did not pertain to something specific to Heartbreakers, just mentioned the name. 21 calls for a fight. Five other arrests, seven stolen property, three hit and runs 15 unruly patrons, one junk ordinance, one vandalism, one lost phone, one reposed car, six false alarms and eight traffic calls. There were more fights in front of Heartbreakers than Whispers and a lot of these calls showed over intoxicated. Detective Dave Peterson, Williston Police Dept. presented the following: The following incidents are stemming from April 23, 2014 through today December 9, 2014. An incident on August 8, 2014 happened outside of Whispers which caused the death of one individual. Two brothers were kicked out of Whispers after causing a disturbance in the bar. These individuals were seen on video outside of the establishment. The video details the progression of the incident. The victim for all intents and purposes was an innocent by-standard in the dispute between one brother and Whispers. The concerning thing in this case were the actions of the bouncer of Whispers. When the victim and his brother were asked to leave the establishment they stood on the sidewalk yelling at the bouncer. The bouncer and the brother had some words. At this point the bouncer is on the curb and he is doing a motion like “bring it on” as seen on the surveillance video. The brother then punched the bouncer and the fight began, The bouncer pursued the brother out into main street. When the fight was over the other brother was running to the aid of his brother and he ended up laying lifeless after being struck by a former bouncer of Whispers causing him to fall and strike his head on construction material. Neither Whispers bouncers nor Whispers patrons called 911. Patrons from the No Place Bar called 911. In fact the bouncer involved in the “bring it on” motion was seen on video, actually shook hands with the assailant along with shaking hands of the assailant and the bouncers for Whispers as the individual lay lifeless on Main St. On September 14, 2014 an investigation involving Joshua Clement occurred outside of Whispers and Heartbreakers. All the individuals involved were intoxicated. They were in consuming alcoholic beverages in Whispers and became intoxicated doing body shots off of a female patron. An altercation took place inside the establishment and continued out to the sidewalk. Joshua C was pushed and struck his head and it caused severe brain damage where a part of his skull actually had to be removed and caused permanent brain damage. Only one establishment had video surveillance and the aggressor is still being sought by the Williston Police Department. On September 29, 2014 an incident occurred outside Whispers bar. The individual got into an altercation. He was a minor and fell and broke his leg. He had been consuming alcoholic beverages in Whispers. On October 5, 2014 an incident occurred which led to an investigation. The individual was subsequently arrested for various charges. Among those were minor in a license premise, minor in consumption of alcohol. He had been drinking at both Whispers and Heartbreakers. The incidents on September 29 and October 5 led to an investigation on underage drinking. Six individuals (employees) were charged; four from Heartbreakers and two from Whispers. During the investigation, Management of the establishments had been less than forthcoming from both establishments which is taking valuable and needed resources from other areas in the community. When video is requested they sometimes refuse to provide it; respond with profanities and make the PD seek out judicial search warrants to take the video surveillance. Other incidences, specifically Whispers; it has taken four investigators to recover video from the establishment. At all times two investigators are sent together. On January 23, 2014 both establishments were cited under the junk ordinance for garbage, bottles, building materials and other various garbage items behind the buildings in the alley. They had both received numerous warnings prior. Each continually blames the other for the garbage rather than clean it up. The former code compliance officer states Heartbreakers is the worst in dealing with in regards to the garbage. Lastly it has been the practice for the Williston PD to station officers on foot patrol down by the two establishments to try to protect some of the community that frequents these two establishments, but this is not the responsibility of the department to provide personal security and the PD has too many other calls to provide full time presence on S Main. Mayor Klug asked Detective Peterson if he could tell of any times or observance of lap dances or any contact between the patrons and the dancers. Detective Peterson said yes. It was reviewed on video where there were several instances of dancers and patrons touching and putting their faces on the womenʼs upper chest. Whispers has guaranteed Detective Peterson that they could get him video of dancers engaging in sexual activities and vice versa.

Taylor Olson stated she did receive a video at her firm about a year ago anonymously of a hidden video at heartbreakers showing inappropriate conduct and things not allowed by City ordinances. Commissioner Cymbaluk stated it is clear the two establishments has violated several areas of the law; given an opportunity a couple years ago to clean up and that they did for some level for a period of time, but have fallen to the same level again. Commissioner Cymbaluk stated it is absurd that the police officers are put at risk to patrol down at the establishments. No other establishments have these issues. Mayor Klug stated it is not a public hearing but he wanted to hear all sides. Greg Hennessy, Attorney representing Heartbreakers presented the following: Greg Hennessey representing Heartbreakers stated that when Commissioner Cymbaluk stated the evidence is clear; from an attorney stand point, he does not agree at all. The first problem is under 3-145 which says they should have been given specific information. That was not done until Detective Peterson laid it out at the meeting. The notice the establishments received stated they would be told what had been done wrong at the hearing and merely stating the codes without any fact background does not allow them to prepare. Mr. Hennessey stated even though Heartbreakers has been sucker punched by the one minor in possession, Heartbreakers has been smeared along with Whispers for acts which have nothing to do with Heartbreakers other than the fact they are next door. None of the evil that happened in the street is a result of Heartbreakers. Heartbreakers only has one minor in possession. Heartbreakers has a software program that runs any kind of digital ID that is presented and it is run every time they go out the door. Mr. Hennessey stated there is no foundation of the video received by Ms. Olson. Whispers is an entirely separate business from Heartbreakers. Heartbreakers has a better bouncer system and have also assisted in arrests, which has not been brought to the system. Security has been upgraded. Any suggestions they are open to them. Mr. Hennessey stated that Heartbreakers has nothing to do with any of the incidents brought up in the affidavit. Mr. Hennessy stated Heartbreakers provided everything including the cameras to the PD and had to buy new cameras for security because the PD still has the cameras. Commissioner Bekkedahl asked if both establishments have used profanities at the police. Detective Peterson stated yes from general management, but specifically in the recent from Whispers. Mayor Klug asked what the time frame that over serving has happened. Detective Peterson responded that over serving complaints happen in all establishments and have to be addressed on a case by case basis. He stated both establishments has a severe issue with this. In the last three weeks, Detective Peterson had contact with a male patron who had become intoxicated from Heartbreakers. He was so intoxicated that he made it on to the tracks and was run over by a train, amputating his leg. Ms. Olson stated the last time an investigation was done for over intoxication at Heartbreakers was 11/15/14 and Whispers was 11/27/14. Mayor Klug stated he has spoken with both owners and discussed specifically the problem of over serving and he was assured this would not happen. This discussion took place in July or August of 2014. Commissioner Cymbaluk asked what the commissionʼs options were. Ms. Olson stated the same as last time; can choose to not do anything, choose to suspend liquor license for a specific time frame or revoke the license completely. Eric Grant, Attorney representing Whispers presented the following: Mr. Grant stated there are two sides. Mr. Grant stated the individual that hit the victim in August that died, was actually a past employee of Whispers and was not in any way representing Whispers. Whispers staff did go through the video with PD and provide names and phone numbers of some of the people shown on the video during that incident. Warrants have never been required to get Whispers video surveillance. Whispers cameras are used around the clock and can provide transparency to PD for Whispers. Mr. Grant concedes Joshua Clement was at Whispers the night of the incident but stated he may have been at other bars also. Whispers has incorporated the black light stamp that cannot be transferred rather than the wrist band method along with the enhanced ID system. Mr. Grants denies that any security camera video requested has ever been denied. Commissioner Cymbaluk asked if Whispers has broken any City ordinances since the last time the liquor license was suspended. Mr. Grant stated yes. Commissioner Bekkedahl asked Chief Lokken if it was his opinion that there are more issues with these two establishments than any other in the community. Chief Lokken said the two establishments probably causes about 80% of PDʼs calls. Commissioner Brostuen is concerned other calls to PD may be being neglected or put off due to the volume of calls being responded to at Whispers and Heartbreakers. Mayor Klug asked about doing a breathalyzer on patrons coming in to the establishments. Ms. Olson stated this may not be an effective tool. Commissioner Bekkedahl asked about any fatalities at any other establishments in Williston. Detective Peterson responded there was a hit and run outside of J Dubs. MOTION BY CYMBALUK, SECONDED BY BROSTUEN, to suspend the liquor license at both Whispers and Heartbreakers starting at 12:00 AM December 9th, 2014 for 60 days AYE: Piesik, Cymbaluk, Brostuen, Bekkedahl, Klug NAY: NONE ABSENT AND NOT VOTING: NONE CARRIED: 5-0 Mayor Klug called a five minute recess. Mayor Klug reconvened the meeting. David Tuan, Public Works presented the following: C. Director of Public Works (1) Bakken Industrial Park Roadway Improvement Task Order Presented in the packet is a proposal from Ackerman Estvold for engineering services. This is Bakken Industrial Park where considerable resources has been spent on roadway maintenance and dust control. It is proposed to do an improvised street service.

It is requested to authorize and approve an engineering services contract for the design and construction services other the roadway improvement project in the amount of $63,900. Commissioner Cymbaluk asked when this would start and Mr. Tuan stated in the spring. Mr. Kautzman asked if the intent would be to special assess any of this project or if the City would absorb the cost. Mr. Tuan deferred the

was the discussion at the Ad HOC meeting. The alley will be signed no parking and if snow removal in the alley will not fit in the 8 ft. to the west of the townhomes, then the Homeowners Association will have to remove it. The development agreement and CC&Rʼs reflect this. The storm water detention pond will need to be a separate lot owned by the Homeowners Association, and will need to be screened according to the storm water ordinance. This is stated in the CC&Rʼs. The development agreement will need language that allows the City to collect trash from the alley and does not hold the City responsible for any damage. Public Works clarified that the alley will need to be cleared by the HOA, and that if it is not, trash will not be cleared. This is stated in the CC&Rʼs. A park dedication fee will need to be paid. The HOA has been set up. Buffering will be required behind the private street on the west side of the development agreement. Anna Lane has been changed to Gracie Way.
