BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota University System has named the members of a committee that will search for the new president of Valley City State University.
The members of the committee announced on Monday are tasked with finding the successor of Steven Shirley who will be taking over as Minot State University president in July 2014.
Kirsten Diederich is the chair of the state’s Board of Higher Education. She will head the committee that is composed of students, faculty, staff and community leaders.
A national search firm that is yet to be selected will assist in the process.
Shirley is in his sixth year at Valley City State. He has spent 17 years in higher education. He previously served as vice president and dean of student affairs at Dakota State University.

Bismrack (CSi) State Game and Fish Director Terry Steinwand has appointed longtime employee Scott
Peterson as the agency’s new deputy director.
Peterson, a native of Montpelier in southern Stutsman County, will begin his new
position May 1. He has been the Department’s wildlife resource management section
leader at the Lonetree district office, located southwest of Harvey, for 22 years.
“Scott has proven his leadership abilities over the years,” Steinwand said. “I look
forward to working closely with him on the issues.”
Peterson said he is humbled and honored to accept the position. “I have a deep
appreciation for what the staff at the Game and Fish Department has been able to
accomplish over the years, and know how hard they work to protect and maintain the
resource,” he said.
Game and Fish had been without a deputy director for more than a month since Duane
DeKrey, who had served in the position since January 2013, left the agency to work
for the Garrison Diversion Conservancy District.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Residents in North Dakota’s largest city are ready to celebrate the premier of “Fargo” the TV show, along with a homegrown actor who plays a part in the series.
The 90-minute episode on FX (CSi 40) 9-p.m., will be shown Tuesday night at the historic Fargo Theater. The Joel and Ethan Coen production stars Billy Bob Thornton, who plays the bad guy, and Martin Freeman, who plays an insurance salesman corrupted by Thornton.
North Dakota native Tom Musgrave, who plays Freeman’s boss in the show, will attend the premier in Fargo and take the stage for a question-and-answer session afterward. Musgrave was born in Bottineau and grew up in Valley City.
Musgrave says he had an advantage with his North Dakota background and jokes that he was the “expert on set.”
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – One of 15 people to plead guilty in a synthetic drug conspiracy that resulted in the overdose deaths of two teenagers has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Casey Rosen (row-ZEEN’) pleaded guilty in January 2013 to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances resulting in serious bodily injury and death. He is the 13th defendant sentenced in the case.
Authorities say Rosen was a partner with Andrew Spofford, who cooked up the chemicals that led to the June 2012 deaths of two teens who lived in the Grand Forks area. Assistant U.S Attorney Chris Myers called Rosen the “money man” in the operation.
Spofford was sentenced earlier to 17 1/2 years in prison.
Investigators have dubbed the case “Operation Stolen Youth.”
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – White supremacist Craig Cobb is friends with a man jailed in the killing of three people at a Jewish community center and Jewish retirement complex near Kansas City on Sunday.
Cobb says he last spoke with Frazier Glenn Cross on Thursday and that Cross gave no indication that he might be planning an attack.
Cobb says the allegations against Cross have nothing to do with him and so he isn’t commenting. But he says he hopes Cross didn’t do it.
Cobb is jailed in North Dakota while he awaits an April 29 sentencing for terrorizing residents of Leith.
Cross, of Aurora, Mo., hasn’t been formally charged in the Kansas City killings, but U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom says there’s enough evidence to justify submitting a hate-crimes case to a grand jury.
Meanwhile…
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A white supremacist who unsuccessfully tried to take over the small North Dakota town of Leith says he wants to leave the state if he’s released from jail and “retire from white nationalism.”
Sixty-two-year-old Craig Cobb has been jailed since mid-November, when he was arrested for terrorizing residents of Leith during an armed patrol. He’s awaiting an April 29 sentencing, and hoping a judge will spare him more jail time by accepting a plea deal that calls for four years of probation.
Cobb says if he gets out of jail he’ll petition another state to accept him, which would be a requirement of his probation. He didn’t say which state.
Cobb says he feels he’s done his part to promote white nationalism and is tired of the spotlight.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Sen. John Hoeven says BNSF Railway Co. has promised to add more trains to ensure timely delivery of fertilizer for spring planting.
Hoeven says BNSF CEO Matt Rose told him that the railroad “will dedicate additional resources and crews to get fertilizer to North Dakota producers faster.”
The president of the North Dakota Farmers Union says fertilizer supplies must be supplemented this spring to ensure there are no shortages. Mark Watne (WAHT’-nee) says some dealers have quit pre-selling fertilizer because they can’t guarantee delivery.
Watne says grain shipments also are up to a month behind because of the lack of rail cars.
Increased crude oil and freight shipments largely have been blamed for causing the rail delays.
BNSF has said that rail service has been backlogged due to bad weather.
In world and national news…
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) – Police in Overland Park, Kansas, say they’ve “unquestionably” determined that Sunday’s shooting attack that left three people dead was a hate crime. The shootings took place outside a Jewish community center and retirement complex near Kansas City. A former Klan leader and a known white supremacist, Frazier Glenn Cross, is being held on a preliminary charge of first-degree murder.
MURRYSVILLE, Pa. (AP) – Detectives believe a boy who’s charged with stabbing 21 other students and a security guard at his Pittsburgh-area high school last week had threatened two students by phone before the attack. The information is contained in a search warrant affidavit. The threatened students are not believed to be among the victims in Wednesday’s attack at Franklin Regional High School. Alex Hribal (RY’-buhl) is charged as an adult with four counts of attempted homicide and 21 counts of aggravated assault. Teachers returned to the school today but classes don’t resume until Wednesday.
NEW YORK (AP) – A jury has been chosen in New York for the U.S. terror trial of an Egyptian Islamic preacher extradited from Great Britain on charges he conspired to support al-Qaida. Eight men and four women along with four alternates were chosen today for the Manhattan trial of Mustafa Kamel Mustafa (muh-STAH’-fuh kah-MEHL’ muh-STAH’-fuh). Mustafa has pleaded not guilty to charges he conspired to support al-Qaida by trying to set up a terrorist training camp in 1999 in Oregon. He also is accused of helping abduct two American tourists and 14 others in Yemen in 1998. Four hostages died.
PERTH, Australia (AP) – For the first time, search crews have sent a robotic submarine into the Indian Ocean to start searching the seabed for the missing Malaysian airliner. The sub can create a three-dimensional sonar map of any debris on the ocean floor. Meanwhile, officials are investigating an oil slick about 3.4 miles from the area where the last underwater sounds were detected. They say a sample has been sent to Australia for analysis, a process that will take several days.
WASHINGTON (AP) – You haven’t even started on your federal tax return? Don’t fret. If you’re due a refund, April 15 isn’t much of a deadline at all. The Internal Revenue Service doesn’t like to talk about it, but penalties for filing late federal tax returns apply only to people who owe money. The penalty is a percentage of what you owe. If you owe nothing, 5 percent of nothing is …nothing. If you have unpaid taxes, though, the late fees add up quickly. The IRS says about three-fourths of filers get refunds.
