In this Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2014 photo, Gordon Levang, 95, talks on a telephone in his home in Watford City, N.D. Levang, a retired farmer, says residents have no choice but to embrace the changes that this latest oil boom has brought to their town. Oil has been found on his family's farm in all three oil booms in this region. He now lives in town and his children run the farm outside of town. He says the increase in the town's population, from 1,500 to as many as 7,000, requires him to be more patient, waiting in traffic and in lines at the grocery store. (AP Photo/Martha Irvine)
