Update: Oct. 23, 2013:<\/p>\n

Valley City, ND\u00a0 (KCSi-T.V. News Oct 23, 2013)\u00a0 \u2013\u00a0 Investigators have concluded that Monday morning\u2019s fire at Faith Lutheran Church in Valley City was arson.<\/p>\n

The fire \u00a0caused more than one million dollars in damages.<\/p>\n

\n

Valley City Fire Chief Gary Retterath and other investigators including the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and North Dakota State Fire Marshals, said, \u201cWe all agreed that it was a set fire at the church.\u201d<\/p>\n

Retterath\u00a0confirmed the fire was set in a number of different locations in the church.<\/p>\n

The investigation continues with federal and state investigators and the Valley City Police Department.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Earlier this week, Valley City Police Chief Fred Thompson said authorities were looking into the possibility of the fire being related to a late-September string of church burglaries in Valley City, but it was \u201ctoo early to tell.\u201d<\/p>\n

The church building remains sealed, as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n

A possible reward may be offered, leading to the arrest of the person(s) responsible for starting the fire.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Valley City, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — Members of Faith Lutheran Church in Valley City gathered Wednesday evening (Oct. 23, 2013) to pray outside the church building, heavily destroyed by fire early Monday morning.<\/p>\n

When Faith Lutheran\u2019s church members gathered Wednesday, they were grieving but also forgiving.<\/p>\n

Reverend Jolene Knudson-Hanse told the congregation, “It doesn\u2019t matter that it was arson instead of an accident that caused this fire \u2026 because God\u2019s goal is peace.”<\/p>\n

She added “Much work lies ahead for our congregation, but our fear and anger, we can leave at Jesus\u2019 feet.”<\/p>\n

After, about 300 members of Faith Lutheran\u2019s 900-member congregation shared a meal in the basement of St. Catherine\u2019s Catholic Church.<\/p>\n

Faith Lutheran Council President Tory Hart answered questions and said, the church is waiting to hear from its insurance company on fire damages.<\/p>\n

Church officials will then decide whether to repair or rebuild the church.<\/p>\n

The church will relocate to the former U.S. Department of Agriculture building in Valley City, starting November 3rd<\/sup>. and will likely be there for at least a year.<\/p>\n

He said a firefighter saved the church\u2019s altar book, and church records were mostly saved having been in a plywood cabinet in the office that sustained the most fire damage.<\/p>\n

Donation funds for Faith Lutheran Church have been set up at Dacotah Bank and Bank Forward in Valley City.<\/p>\n

October 27, 2013:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Service at Trinity Lutheran Church-8:30 am<\/p>\n

Regular worship services will be determined later this week.<\/p>\n

Donation funds have been set up at both Dacotah Bank and Bank Forward.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A disciplinary panel of the North Dakota Supreme Court says a Fargo judge accused of sexually harassing a female court reporter should be suspended.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state Judicial Conduct Commission is recommending that East Central District Judge Wickham Corwin be removed from the bench for two months without pay and cover about $12,000 in court costs.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Corwin says he is disappointed with the decision by the hearing panel and is hopeful the Supreme Court will reject its recommendation.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The judge was accused of trying to start an affair with the woman, who has never filed a formal complaint. A hearing on the matter was held in Fargo in June.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Corwin says he believes he should be judged on “what he said and did, not what someone else imagined.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – While the rest of the nation ages, North Dakota is getting younger.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 An analysis of 2012 U.S. Census population estimates found that North Dakota has the largest proportion of 20- to 24-year-olds in the nation – more than 9 percent of the population. State census office manager Kevin Iverson says North Dakota’s median age also has dropped from 37 to 36.1 in just two years – an enormous drop for such a short time window.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Experts say the data is more evidence of how much the state’s economy has grown, driven by high farm commodity prices and the western oil boom.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Iverson says it’s a lot easier for young people to go where the jobs are.

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Gov. Jack Dalrymple has asked President Barack Obama to declare a federal disaster for the southwestern and south central parts of the state that were hit by an early October blizzard.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A presidential disaster declaration would pave the way for federal aid for the region that was hit by up to 1\u00a0 1\/2 feet of snow and strong winds on Oct. 4-5. The storm caused extensive damages to rural electric infrastructure, roads, crops and cattle herds.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Damage estimates so far have surpassed $8 million and do not include agricultural losses.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dalrymple has requested federal disaster assistance for Adams, Bowman, Grant, Hettinger, Morton, Sioux and Slope counties. Additional counties could be added later.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The total headcount at the institutions is 48,015 this fall, compared to 48,203 in Fall 2012. That’s a decrease of 0.4 percent.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Graduate student enrollment increased by 6.7 percent and community college enrollment rose by 0.9 percent. University enrollment dropped 0.7 percent.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Interim Chancellor Larry Skogen says the stable enrollment numbers are good news for North Dakota because national enrollment numbers are trending downward as an improved economy is sending people go back to work.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He says the system has been able to keep the cost of education affordable.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dalrymple says the committee has jurisdiction over issues related to agriculture, energy, the environment and natural resources. Members of the committee ensure that the governors’ views are represented in the shaping of federal policy.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dalrymple says he looks forward to “sharing with others the successful policies that have been implemented here in North Dakota.”

\u00a0EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) – Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier will likely turn the offense back over to Christian Ponder for the Sunday night’s game against Green Bay. Josh Freeman showed up to the facility after his first start on Monday night with concussion-like symptoms. Freeman has to go through a battery of tests to get clearance to play again.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) – Packers coach Mike McCarthy says injured tight end Jermichael Finley is making progress in recuperating from a serious neck injury. Finley has remained in a hospital after getting hurt in last week’s 31-13 win over the Browns. Finley posted a video of him walking down a hospital hall accompanied by three others on Twitter on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) – A Minnesota legislative panel formed to keep tabs on the Vikings stadium deal is meeting to go over a recently signed lease and the development agreement.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Legislative Commission on Minnesota Sports Facilities lacks power to alter the agreements. They were executed a few weeks ago by the team and the managers of the yet-built stadium.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thursday’s meeting will give lawmakers a platform to highlight concerns or voice support for the direction of the $975 million project. The public is hugely invested in the deal, with taxpayers paying more than half and fans likely to foot a share as well.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The lease binds the team to 30 years. The development agreement includes the sale of seat licenses to fans who want the right to buy a season ticket.<\/p>\n

NBA…<\/p>\n

\u00a0NEW YORK (AP) – NBA owners have unanimously voted to change the NBA Finals format back to 2-2-1-1-1 from 2-3-2. In short, instead of the series opening with two games in one city before switching to the other city for three and then back for two, the Finals will open with two games in one city before switching to the other city for the next two games followed by single games.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The change was approved during the preseason board of governors meetings and will take effect with this season’s finals.
