WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) – The Watford City Council has decided
to allow unlimited off-sale liquor licenses in the booming community in the western North Dakota oil patch.
     “Off-sale” refers to liquor that is sold to be consumed off
the premises.

Watford City has had only one off-sale license for nearly 60 years, because city ordinance allows only one per 3,000 residents.

The official 2010 census is 1,740 people, but the city estimates the actual number is more than 5,000.
     The Watford City Community Benefit Association had held the lone
off-sale license and used the proceeds from its liquor store for
community projects.

Spokesman Steve Stenehjem (STEHN’-juhm) says he’s disappointed with the council’s decision.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) – Months before the attack on the U.S. consulate
in Libya that killed the American ambassador and three others,
small teams of U.S. special operations forces had arrived at
embassies throughout North Africa to set up a new counterterrorist
network.

That’s according to officials speaking anonymously. They
say the network was too new to stop the attack in Benghazi.
According to the officials, the plan had been approved by the White
House almost a year ago.
     
     HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – It looks like voters in Pennsylvania
won’t be required to show a photo ID at the polls next month.

A judge is blocking that requirement from taking effect. The judge
said he wasn’t convinced that every voter would be able to get a
valid ID.

The requirement had been supported by Republicans, who
said they were fighting voter fraud. Democrats said it was a move
to help Republican candidates.

by Mitt Romney on immigration “raises more questions than it
answers.”

Romney, in an interview with the Denver Post, said he
would honor temporary work permits for young illegal immigrants
that were granted by the Obama administration.

The Obama campaign says Romney’s latest statement doesn’t make clear whether he would repeal Obama’s policy, and whether he would deport those who have received a deferment when the two years are up.
     
     HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) – President Barack Obama and his wife won’t

calling for printed textbooks to become obsolete within the next
few years.

that are aggressively moving from print to digital for educational
materials.

He says a small number of American school districts are
moving in that direction, but that the country must move faster.
