Valley City\u00a0 (VCBC Development Corporation)\u00a0 \u00a0Local entrepreneurs Keith Hovland and Jerry Piper, founders of the service company Product Acquisition and Integration Services, LLC, (PAIS), recently purchased the assets and intellectual property of the Huber Manufacturing Company and are in the early stages of resuming production of the Huber 850-E Maintainer in Valley City. The operation will be doing business as \u201cHuber Maintainer\u201d and will be located at 1029 Four Bottle Drive occupying the west half of what was the Vansco Building.<\/p>\n
The original \u201cHuber Manufacturing Company\u201d was founded in 1863 by Edward Huber and Lewis Gunn in Marion, Ohio to manufacture farm implements then quickly moved into the growing steam tractor manufacturing industry. While many steam tractor manufacturers focused on agriculture applications the Huber Company directed their innovation efforts toward the growing road construction industry developing the first gasoline and diesel engine traction machines including rollers, packers, and eventually road graders.<\/p>\n
Huber machines have been marketed worldwide over the years, with ownership of the brand changing hands several times. In 1955 Huber merged with the W.A. Riddell Company and became known as the more familiar Huber-Warco brand with a broad array of products including a full range of motor graders, maintainers, packers of all types, seal coating machines, and even hydraulic rough terrain cranes. Visit the Huber museum web site at www.hubermuseum.com to learn more Huber history.<\/p>\n
Huber today will focus on the Maintainer product for distribution in North America. The new Model E Maintainer will feature a complete drive train overhaul including state of the art Cummins engine power, all new hydrostatic drive and axle components, and many changes to assure continued reliability and precision blade control.<\/p>\n
The Huber 850-E Maintainer will be marketed through a small group of equipment dealers who are uniquely qualified to distribute asphalt related equipment to road construction companies, counties, townships, and cities.<\/p>\n
Keith and Jerry invite you to visit the Huber website at www.hubermaintainer.com and the PAIS website at www.paisservices.com to learn more about their manufacturing initiatives and would like to thank the Valley City Barnes County Development Corporation, Dacotah Bank, and many others for their local support and encouragement in this project.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Valley City Barns County Development Corporation is excited to extend our support to PAIS and Huber Maintainer and wish them success in their new venture\u201d said JoAnn Hooper, President of the Development Corporation. \u201cIt\u2019s good to help local entrepreneurs.\u201d<\/p>\n
PAIS and Huber Maintainer is located in the Northwest Industrial Park near Valley City. They occupy the west 9,000 sq.ft. of the building owned by the Development Corporation (previously occupied by Vansco). Jennifer Feist said, \u201cOur role was to provide leasehold improvements to the building and lease the property at a substantially discounted rate so they could focus on their business. She added, John Stearns, Java Chew, is located in the east half of the building.\u201d<\/p>\n

MINOT, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A Minot business extensively damaged by fire last year has lost a battle with the city over zoning issues.<\/p>\n
The Minot Daily News reports Judge Douglas Mattson on Tuesday granted the city’s motion to dismiss the case. Earth Recycling was contesting the city’s cease and desist letter.<\/p>\n
The recycling business had been operating on Minot’s western edge since 2008. A fire destroyed much of the business, including a building, on May 18, 2017. Because the damage exceeded 60 percent of the property, the city notified Earth Recycling that it was required to meet the current zoning ordinance that does not allow a business such as the one being conducted prior to the fire.<\/p>\n
Earth Recycling countered that it was “grandfathered” and did not need to comply with new zoning requirements.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\nWASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 House Speaker Paul Ryan is defending President Donald Trump for thanking North Korea’s leader for releasing three detained Americans. Ryan says people should “give the president some leeway” as he prepares for next month’s summit with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. Ryan also lauded the release of the Americans as a good faith gesture by the North Koreans ahead of talks over possibly eliminating that country’s nuclear weapons.<\/article>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\nSINGAPORE (AP) \u2014 Singapore’s ties with the U.S. and North Korea, its safety, and its distance from both nations make it a natural choice for the historic summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. It already has hosted a similar meeting between two leaders burdened with a legacy of mutual distrust _ the unprecedented summit in 2015 between the presidents of China and rival Taiwan.<\/article>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\nBAGHDAD (AP) \u2014 The U.S.-led coalition says Iraqi forces in coordination with U.S.-backed Syrian forces have captured five senior Islamic State group leaders. In a statement Thursday coalition spokesman Army Col. Ryan Dillon called the arrest a “significant blow to Daesh,” using the Arabic acronym for the extremist group. IS fighters no longer control significant pockets of territory inside Iraq, but do maintain a grip inside Syria along Iraq’s border.<\/article>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\nJERUSALEM (AP) \u2014 The United Nations says Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is urging “an immediate halt to all hostile acts” and provocative actions to avoid “a new conflagration” in the Middle East. U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters the U.N. peacekeeping force on the Golan Heights has maintained contact with the Syrian and Israeli military, “urging both parties to exercise maximum restraint” and abide by the 1974 cease-fire agreement.<\/article>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\nNEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) \u2014 A Yale administrator says the university police officers who responded to a call about a black graduate student who had fallen asleep in the common area of a campus residence admonished the white student who reported it.
