Washington (CSi) <\/b>U.S. Senators, John Hoeven, and Heidi Heitkamp, along with Congressman Kevin Cramer announced Tuesday that Valley City\u2019s Washington Elementary School has been named a National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. Schools receive this recognition based upon their overall academic excellence or their progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups.<\/p>\n

The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program was founded in 1982 to recognize the work of the nation\u2019s top schools. Since the program\u2019s founding, the Blue Ribbon distinction has been awarded to schools achieving impressive results through exemplary teaching practices. To date, more than 7,500 schools have received the designation.<\/p>\n

Cramer says, “North Dakota continues to be home to some of the best schools in our nation. Washington Elementary\u2019 s recognition as a Blue Ribbon School is a testament to the hard work of the students, teachers, administrators and parents in creating an open and productive institution of learning.”<\/p>\n

Hoeven says, “Academic excellence is achieved not only by the hard work of our state\u2019s teachers and children, but through the support of their families and community. Washington Elementary and the community of Valley City have earned their Blue Ribbon award by creating an environment that engages and encourages kids. That helps them to learn valuable lessons, take on challenging work and develop the skills and knowledge they need to build a healthy, prosperous future for both themselves and our nation.”<\/p>\n

Heitkmap added, “Receiving recognition as a National Blue Ribbon School signifies the hard work and dedication of the teachers, students and parents at Washington Elementary. It was through quality public education and access to academic opportunities that I was able to go from the daughter of a school cook and a seasonal construction worker in Mantador to serving our state in the U.S. Senate, and I have no doubt these students are also on a path to success. Congratulations to the folks at Washington Elementary and in Valley City for receiving this high honor and thank you for your commitment to our next generation of leaders.”<\/p>\n

Representatives from each school will be formally recognized on November 9 and 10, 2015 at a recognition ceremony in Washington, D.C., where representatives from the school will receive the National Blue Ribbon School flag and an engraved plaque as symbols of their success.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Fargo police officer who shot a car theft suspect was involved in a shooting that injured himself while he was a North Dakota State University officer.<\/p>\n

Fargo Police Officer Patrick Thomas shot 31-year-old Karmen Redshirt three times Monday after the suspect aimed a replica pellet gun with a laser pointer at him.<\/p>\n

Fargo Police Lt. Joel Vettel confirmed Thomas was the NDSU officer who accidentally shot himself in the arm in his off-campus apartment in September 2013, while he was off duty. Thomas quit the NDSU force after the incident.<\/p>\n

He’s been with Fargo police since October 2014. He’s on administrative leave pending a state Bureau of Criminal Investigation probe.<\/p>\n

Redshirt, of Bismarck, remains at a hospital. He faces charges including terrorizing and theft of property. His court record doesn’t list an attorney who could comment on the charges.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The mayor of Leith says he’s not worried a documentary of the town’s struggle with a white supremacist might impact his November trial on a misdemeanor charge.<\/p>\n

Mayor Ryan Schock is charged with failing to control or report a dangerous fire. It stems from city efforts to get rid of condemned buildings after white supremacist Craig Cobb left following his failed attempt to take over the tiny town.<\/p>\n

An award-winning documentary of the struggle by New York filmmakers Michael Nichols and Christopher Walker includes footage of Schock and others doing the burning. The film showed in theaters in Bismarck and Mott last weekend and is scheduled for more showings in Bismarck and Hebron.<\/p>\n

Schock says he doesn’t think the footage might influence potential jurors, either for or against him.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – An environmental group is suing the federal government for its decision to allow a man to mine gravel near Theodore Roosevelt’s historic western North Dakota ranch.<\/p>\n

The National Parks Conservation Association filed the federal lawsuit against the U.S. Forest Service Tuesday in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit challenges the Forest Service’s decision to issue the mining permit and requests a more thorough analysis of how the proposed gravel pit could affect Roosevelt’s Elkhorn Ranch, which is located within the Theodore Roosevelt National Park.<\/p>\n

In January, the Forest Service agreed to issue the permit to Montana businessman Roger Lothspeich (LOTH’-speech) after the agency said it found “no significant impact” for the project.<\/p>\n

The proposal to mine 25 acres of land is just a mile from the Elkhorn Ranch. Mining hasn’t yet begun.<\/p>\n

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A week of warm, dry weather has helped North Dakota farmers harvest row crops.<\/p>\n

The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that average temperatures were 6-10 degrees above normal, and the major production areas were mostly dry.<\/p>\n

The corn harvest has gotten underway, at 3 percent complete. About one-third of North Dakota’s soybean crop is in the bin, ahead of the average pace.<\/p>\n

The canola harvest is nearly done. The harvesting of potatoes has passed the halfway point. Seventeen percent of the sugar beet crop is harvested. All three harvests are ahead of average.<\/p>\n

Pasture and range conditions statewide are rated 49 percent good to excellent. Stock water supplies are 80 percent adequate to surplus.<\/p>\n

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The University of North Dakota men’s hockey team is ranked in the Top Five of the first preseason poll of the year.<\/p>\n

UND is No. 4 in the USCHO.com poll released Monday, and received one first-place vote.<\/p>\n

Boston College tops the poll, followed by Minnesota-Duluth and Boston University.<\/p>\n

UND last season made its seventh NCAA Frozen Four appearance in 11 years, losing to Boston in the semifinals. First-year coach Brad Berry’s roster has 16 returning letterwinners and 10 incoming freshmen.<\/p>\n

The team hosts the University of Manitoba in an exhibition game Saturday in Ralph Engelstad Arena.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

ATLANTA (AP) – The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles is denying clemency for the lone woman on the state’s death row. The execution of Kelly Gissendaner is scheduled for 7 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday. She was convicted of murder in the February 1997 slaying of her husband — after conspiring with her lover, who stabbed the husband to death. Gissendaner still has legal challenges pending before the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – Of the more-than 250 Americans who’ve traveled overseas in the past few years in hopes of joining terrorist groups, several dozen have been able to sneak back into the United States without being arrested or monitored. That’s according to a new congressional study — which offers no details on those who’ve made it back into the country. It says the administration doesn’t have a strategy to prevent the overseas travel, or to identify all of the people who want to return to commit terror attacks.<\/p>\n

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – A federal judge is blocking an order by Utah’s governor that would cut off federal money going to Planned Parenthood in the state. The governor’s order came after the release of secretly-recorded videos by a California anti-abortion group. Tuesday’s ruling allows money to keep flowing while the Planned Parenthood Association of Utah seeks a longer-term injunction.<\/p>\n

DETROIT (AP) – The next two days will be critical in deciding the fate of a new four-year contract between Fiat Chrysler and the United Auto Workers. In early voting, workers at several factories rejected the deal, but those at a pickup truck plant in Warren, Michigan, voted in favor. The UAW reached a tentative agreement with the company two weeks ago that includes pay raises but doesn’t end lower wages for newer workers. The contract could be a template for talks with General Motors and Ford.
\nNEW YORK (AP) – Edward Snowden has just found a new megaphone in Twitter. The former National Security Agency worker, who leaked classified documents about government surveillance, started tweeting Tuesday. He had more than 185,000 followers an hour after his first tweet. Snowden is following just one account: tweets from the National Security Agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
