Valley City, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Nov 29, 2012) — Valley City State University’s Intercultural Communication and Group Dynamics classes, and What In The World Is Going On? (a civic organization in Valley City) have teamed up to offer educational and cultural experiences.

On Thursday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, spokesperson Angela Nording said that this Sunday, December 2, 2012, at 2pm at VCSU’s Froemke Auditorium of Foss Hall, Dr. Elden Lawrence, Author of “Peace Seekers” will be speaking.

Then the Circle of Nations School Singers and Dancers lead by Jason Kingbird will be performing. The Red Eagle Drums will lead a drum circle, offering an open invitation to come up and join in the drum circle.

Earlier this month as part of Rob Walsh’s Intercultural Communications Group, Dynamic classes, the Cultural Event Project, included film screenings of the documentary “Dakota 38.”

Walsh’s vision is to have a meaningful intercultural event every year, and commemorating the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 is part of the experience.

　WARSAW, N.D. (AP) – Three children gunned down in their
grandmother’s home in New Town are being laid to rest.
     Hundreds of people have turned out for the funeral services in
the community of Warsaw for 13-year-old Benjamin Schuster,
10-year-old Julia Schuster and 6-year-old Luke Schuster. They were
shot to death Nov. 18, along with their 64-year-old grandmother,
Martha Johnson. Johnson’s funeral was Monday in New Town.
     The children’s services are being held in St. Stanislaus
Catholic Church. Large displays of photos have been set up, and
there are stuffed animals below each stained glass window.
     A New Town man who killed himself in the nearby town of Parshall
the day of the slayings is considered a person of interest in the
case. The FBI is handling the investigation and has not released
details.

 GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A former Grand Forks police officer is
accused of holding an unloaded handgun to another man’s head during
a party in August.
     Twenty-seven-year-old Jace Prelip is charged with terrorizing
and could face up to five years in prison if convicted. His
attorney, Cash Aaland, was out of the office Thursday and not
immediately available for comment.

     Police Chief John Packett says  Prelip resigned a few days after the
Aug. 29 incident. Prelip had worked for the police department
nearly three years. His preliminary court hearing is scheduled for
Jan. 28.

 WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Fargo contractor has agreed to pay
$16,800 in penalties for a construction incident that killed a
worker.
     Thirty-year-old Trevor Skarphol, of Fargo, died in May when a
steel beam fell on him while he was working on an addition to the
Sheyenne Ninth Grade Center in West Fargo.
Lee Jones & Son Construction Co. negotiated the settlement with the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which had proposed
$21,000 in penalties for what the agency said were safety
violations.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – U.S. marshals made an unusual arrest in
Fargo, capturing a woman who tried to hide inside a large suitcase
but got tripped up by her own hair.
     The 38-year-old woman was wanted for violating her supervised
release on a drug conviction. As authorities searched an apartment
for her Wednesday, a suitcase fell over in a closet and officers
heard a grunt.
     Authorities say the woman’s hair had become caught in the
zipper, and she had to be cut out of the suitcase before she could
be arrested.

 FARGO, N.D. (AP) – An appeals court has ruled against a North
Dakota man convicted in a child pornography case.
     A jury in October 2011 found Scott Boyle, of West Fargo, guilty
on charges of sexual exploitation of minors and possession of
pornography. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
     Prosecutors say that between 2006 and 2010, Boyle videotaped two
underage girls in a bathtub and while they were playing naked in a
bedroom in Boyle’s home.
     Boyle argued in his appeal that the jury was not given proper
instructions, the evidence did not support the charges, and the
tapes did not show sexually explicit conduct.
     The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Boyle’s
request for acquittal or a new trial.

 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Two Minnesota oil refineries say they
shouldn’t have to help pay for a pipeline that they won’t use.
     Calgary, Alberta-based Enbridge Energy this month proposed a
surcharge to finance the $2.5 billion, 618-mile “Sandpiper”
pipeline, which will bring more oil from western North Dakota
across Minnesota to a terminal in Superior, Wis.
     But the owners of refineries in Rosemount and St. Paul Park that
use North Dakota crude have told federal regulators they oppose the
deal. The Star Tribune reports their major complaint is all oil
shipped from the Bakken fields into Minnesota would pay a $1.45 per
barrel surcharge, even if it didn’t travel on the new line.
     Enbridge says all shippers stand to gain because the project
will end the bottleneck on an existing North Dakota-Minnesota
pipeline.

 BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – American Indian tribes in North Dakota
have received more than $65 million to settle claims that the
federal government mismanaged tribal money and trust lands.
     The Justice Department says the Three Affiliated Tribes got $10
million and the Spirit Lake Sioux about $6.7 million. The Standing
Rock Sioux in North Dakota and South Dakota got nearly $49 million.
     The federal government announced earlier this year it was paying
more than $1 billion to dozens of tribes across the country.
Announced settlements with tribes in the Dakotas total more than
$118 million.
     The settlements are separate from a $3.4 billion settlement with
individual members of tribes across the country.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) – Drought conditions have worsened in
South Dakota over the week but remained relatively stable in North
Dakota.
     The latest U.S. Drought Monitor map shows 63 percent of South
Dakota in the worst two categories of drought, extreme and
exceptional. That is up more than 8 percent from last week. All of
the state is in some form of drought.
     About 91 percent of North Dakota is in drought, unchanged over
the week. The state has no areas in extreme or exceptional drought,
and the amount of land in severe drought increased only 3 percent
over the week.

In world and national news…

 WASHINGTON (AP) – They’re talking, but that doesn’t mean they’re
moving closer to an agreement on avoiding the “fiscal cliff” of
tax hikes and spending cuts in January. Republican congressional
leaders are suggesting that the White House is moving further away
from a deal, by failing to outline specific spending cuts that
could be made. Democrats say it’s up to the Republicans to do that.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner (GYT’-nur) was on Capitol Hill
today to meet with Republican leaders there.
     
     WASHINGTON (AP) – Mitt Romney has left the White House, after a
lunch with President Barack Obama that apparently lasted just over
an hour. Earlier Thursday, Romney met with his former running mate,
Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan — and, according to an aide to
Ryan, they discussed the “fiscal cliff” negotiations and other
economic challenges facing Washington.
     
     FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) – The Army private charged with leaking a
huge trove of secret documents to WikiLeaks is describing what he
says was needlessly harsh treatment he endured in a Marine Corps
brig. Bradley Manning has taken the stand at a pretrial hearing at
a military base in Maryland. Manning’s lawyers are arguing that the
charges against him should be dismissed because of how he was
treated after his arrest.
     
     NEW YORK (AP) – It looks like we haven’t seen the last of the
Twinkie. Hostess Brands says it’s in talks with 110 potential
buyers for the product lines that it makes — including Twinkies,
Ding Dongs and Ho Hos. A financial adviser for the company said in
bankruptcy court Thursday that the suitors now include at least five
national retailers.
     
     LOS ANGELES (AP) – It’s the most common question visitors to the
Grand Canyon ask: “How old is it?” A provocative new study
suggests the natural wonder is much older than commonly believed.
Using a new tool to date the age of rocks, a team of researchers
contends the western section of the Grand Canyon may be 70 million
years old. That would put it during the era when dinosaurs roamed.
Their research was published online in the journal Science.
