Heating
program
accepting
applications
The North Dakota Department of
Human Services is reminding low-
income individuals and funilies con-
cemed about winter heating cosLs that
help is available, and they can now
apply for the Low Income Home
Energy Assistance Program
(LIHEAP).
The federally-funded program
pays for part of the heating costs of
qualifying households, as well as fur-
nace repairs and weatherization serv-
ices.
To qualify, people must meet pro-
gram income and asset criteria. This
ensures that help goes to those most
in need. To qualify, a household can
earn up to 60 percent of the state
median income, which for a family of
three equals about $37,385 per year.
People can apply at their local
county social service office through
May 2012. The application is also
available online at
www.nd.gov/eforms/Doc/sfn00529.p
df and should be completed and
returned to the county office.
The department works with coun-
ty social service offices, the N.D.
Department of Commerce's Division
of Community Services, and commu-
nity action agencies to assist low-
income households with heating-
related needs.
Last year, the state LIHEAP pro-
gram paid an average of $994 in heat-
ing energy costs per participating
household during the heating season.
The program typically pays fuel ven-
dors, such as utility and fuel oil com-
panies, directly.
Because saving money on heating
also involves conservation, Human
Services contracts with the N.D.
Department of Commerce for weath-
erization and furnace repair and
replacement services. The direct
work is often carried out by commu-
nity action agencies.
Last heating season, the state
LIHEAP program helped about
16,000 North Dakota households.
Tribal LIHEAP proams also serve
state residents.

Merkel completes Supreme Court program
BISMARCK- Rod Merkel from
Beach High School was one of 20
history, government, and social
studies teachers fi'om across the
state to complete the Fourth North
Dakota Justices Teaching Institute:
"The Constitution and Judicial
Decision-Making" held Oct. 20-21,
in Bismarck.
The North Dakota Supreme
Court developed this public out-
reach program to foster a better
civic understanding of the role of
the courts, how they work, and how
they make decisions.
The institute was facilitated by
justices Gerald W. VandeWalle,
Dale V. Sandstrom, Mary Muehlen
Maring, Carol Ronning Kapsner
and Daniel J. Crothers.
With the justices as their guides
the teachers explored the judicial
system and the criminal court
process in the context of preparing
for the institute's final application -
a mock oral argument. The partici-
pants served as justices and decided
a Fifth Amendment constitutional
question argued by Assistant
Attorney General Jonathan Byers
and attorney Robin Huseby of the
North Dakota Commission on
Legal Counsel for Indigents,
according to a press release.
To earn a continuing education
credit from the University of North
Dakota, participants must now com-
plete at least three hours of in-class-
room work with their students;
teaching them the concepts learned
at the institute. Each teacher has been
assigned a mentor attorney to assist
with the classroom application.
The next Justices Teaching
Institute is scheduled for October
2013.

has asked North Dakota U.S.
Sens. Kent Conrad and John
Hoeven to support the continua-
tion of Saturday mail delivery by
the U.S. Postal Service.
The NDNA Board of Directors
has sent a resolution to the sena-
tors expressing the need of the
state's newspapers to have
Saturday delivery.
"This is especially important
for newspapers that need
Saturday mail delivery to inform
vitally important to weekly news-
papers that publish on Fridays,"
said Wanda Olaf of the Williston
Herald, NDNA president.
"On top of it, NDNA is con-
cerned about a slowing of the
mail stream with the possible
Saturday shutdown if it occurs,"
said Roger Bailey, NDNA execu-
tive director. "Newspapers have
been experiencing , significant
delivery problems and we're con-
cerned it will only get worse if
weekend," he said.
NDNA acknowledges the
financial problems being experi-
enced by USPS but suggests, the
largest challenge facing the
postal service is the government-
produced $75 billion overpay-
ment by USPS into its pension
obligations.
"The elimination of the pen-
sion overpayment would likely
put the postal service back in the
black," Bailey said.
