Valley City (VCSU) The film “The Mission of Herman Stern” will be screened at VCSU’s, Vangstad Auditorium at 7 p.m., tonight (Monday, Nov. 27, 2017). Produced by Video Art Studios in Fargo, the 30-minute documentary will be followed by a panel discussion led by Art Phillips, director; Carl Oberholtzer, co-producer and curriculum writer; and Rick Stern, the grandson of Herman Stern. The event is sponsored by the VCSU Department of Communication Arts.

Originally from Germany, Stern made his home in Valley City for 70 years and is well-remembered as a successful businessman, civic leader, and hero. The film is based on his sponsorship of over 125 Jewish men, women, and children for entry visas to the United States, using his personal assets to rescue people from Germany before the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

More information about the film, curriculum, and premier screenings for “The Mission of Herman Stern” can be found at www.themissionofhermanstern.org/.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The chancellor of the North Dakota University System is denying allegations of discrimination and harassment by a former vice chancellor.

Chancellor Mark Hagerott tells The Associated Press that he “strongly disagrees” with the complaint filed this month by Lisa Feldner. Hagerott says the allegations are a “distraction” from the business of education.

State Board of Higher Education Chairman Don Morton says he also “strongly disagrees” with Feldner’s accusations.

Hagerott fired Feldner in September but gave no reason.

Feldner’s 17-page complaint to the state Labor Department details several allegations against her former boss that she said created a hostile work environment.

Feldner says several women complained about Hagerott touching them, but not in a sexual manner. Feldner accuses him of patting women like “children or pets” in a “condescending” manner.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — A Crookston, Minnesota, woman will serve nearly six years in prison for trying to cover up a killing at a North Dakota truck stop.

U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson also on Monday ordered 33-year-old Lorie Ortiz placed on three years of supervised release after she serves her prison time.

Ortiz was charged as an accessory after the fact in the shooting death of 24-year-old Austin Forsman. Forsman was shot as he sat in his vehicle outside the Flying J Truck Stop in Grand Forks in March 2016.

Authorities say the killing was drug-related and the investigation resulted in 13 indictments in federal court. Authorities say Ortiz was involved in destroying or attempting to destroy evidence, namely cellphones, in an effort to help participants in the killing.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s superintendent is asking teachers statewide to review academic standards for science, health, early learning and the arts as the process for drafting new benchmarks gets underway.

The process of updating those standards is expected to last until next fall. The standards are measurements of what students are expected to know and be able to do as they progress through elementary, middle and high school.

State Superintendent Kirsten Baesler is asking teachers who specialize in science, health, the arts or early learning to apply to serve on one of the four content committees that will draft standards. Applications for the positions are on the Department of Public Instruction’s website.

AMHERST, S.D. (AP) — TransCanada Corp. plans to resume operation of its Keystone pipeline nearly two weeks after crews shut it down in response to an estimated 210,000-gallon oil spill in South Dakota.

The company said in a statement that it will operate the pipeline at reduced pressure beginning Tuesday. TransCanada says the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration has reviewed its pipeline repair and restart plans with no objections.

The agency didn’t immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking additional information.

South Dakota officials don’t believe the leak polluted any surface water bodies or drinking water systems.

The company disclosed the buried pipeline leak on agricultural land in Marshall County on Nov. 16.

The company says that more than 44,000 gallons of oil had been recovered as of Sunday.

In sports…

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) NDSU head football coach Chris Klieman announced Monday that 3 players have been dismissed from the team for violating teams rules, while another has been suspended for Saturday’s FCS playoff game.

Freshman quarterback Henry Van Dellen, senior safety Darren Kelley and freshman receiver Sean Engel are all no longer with the team.

Backup receiver Dallas Freeman was suspended for one game starting last Monday.

Klieman made the announcement Monday during his weekly press conference.

Klieman did not give an exact reason for the suspension or the dismissals.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Hunters killed six mountain lions during the early season in North Dakota’s Zone 1, which ended Sunday.

The harvest limit was eight. The late season, when hunters can purse mountain lions with dogs opened Monday and runs through March 31 — or until the late season harvest of seven total lions or three female lions is reached.

After the late season, the Game and Fish Department says a conditional season could open five days later to pursue the additional two lions that weren’t taken during the early season. Zone 1 includes land in western North Dakota. The rest of the state outside Zone 1 has no harvest limit.

The mountain lion season is open only to North Dakota residents. Hunters need a furbearer or combination license to participate.

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans are scrambling to change a GOP tax bill in an effort to win over holdout GOP senators and pass a tax package by the end of the year. In a Monday morning tweet, the president says, “With just a few changes, some mathematical, the middle class and job producers can get even more in actual dollars and savings.” Trump meets Monday afternoon with five members of the Senate Finance Committee, all of whom are on board with the GOP plan.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore is using a new television ad to push back on allegations of sexual misconduct. In the new ad, an announcer says Moore is being hit by “false allegations” in a “scheme by liberal elites and the Republican establishment” to sink his candidacy for U.S. Senate. The ad does not describe the allegations against the 70-year-old Moore, who is accused of sexually assaulting or molesting two women decades ago, when he was in his 30s and they were teenagers.

LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry says he and Meghan Markle hope to start family in the future. Harry said “one step at a time” when asked about plans for having children.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is releasing legal memos in an effort to justify President Donald Trump’s selection of Budget Director Mick Mulvaney to serve as acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says “there should be no question” that Mulvaney is in charge of the agency. Leandra English was appointed acting director by Richard Cordray when he left office.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Owners of the Trump International Hotel in Panama are working to strip President Donald Trump’s name from the 70-story building and fire the hotel management company run by Trump’s family. The property once paid at least $32 million to associate with Trump.
