  FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A Fargo man who pleaded guilty to stealing cash and jewelry from the home of a neighbor and family friend is losing his real estate license for three years.
 
     The North Dakota Real Estate Commission says  Charles Carney agreed to a three-year suspension of his license.
 
     Carney was sentenced in September to three months in a halfway house and one year of probation after pleading guilty to felony theft. He also was ordered to pay back the victim, who estimated her losses over several years to be at least $100,000.
 
     Carney said he developed two personalities after he began to drink and gamble following medical issues and a cancer diagnoses.

 WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Williston State College President Raymond Nadolny has been put on leave for about a month to deal with what the North Dakota University System says is health issues.
 
     University System Interim Chancellor Larry Skogen last week placed Nadolny on indefinite leave and said officials would investigate allegations that “alcohol was infringing upon his responsibilities as a president.”
 
     Skogen issued a statement late Tuesday saying Nadolny had completed a medical evaluation and will be on leave until about Nov. 19 to go through recommended health services.
 
     Skogen has appointed Terry Olson as interim president of the two-year public school. Olson has worked with the Williston State College Foundation for a number of years.
 
     Nadolny was named president of the college in April 2009. The school has fewer than 900 students.

  MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) – Attorneys for two hockey players charged with making a sex video with a 15-year-old girl at a Moorhead motel last winter are calling her a “sexual predator” who was competing with another woman to have sex with as many players as possible.
 
     Thomas Carey and Brandon Smith, both 19, were suspended from the USHL’s Lincoln Stars in June after they were charged with using a minor in a sexual performance, possession of child pornography and distributing pornography.
 
    Their attorneys have filed papers asking the judge to dismiss the charges for “abuse of prosecutorial discretion.” They say justice would not be served by convicting men of felonies and labeling them as sex offenders.
 
     Clay County Attorney Brian Melton denounced the lawyers as “contemptible” for attacking the alleged victim.

SIDNEY, Mont. (AP) – A Colorado man has pleaded guilty to the 2012 murder of a Montana teacher in an oil boom town where residents say their lives were forever altered by the crime.
 
     Montana District Judge Richard Simonton on Wednesday accepted the guilty plea from Michael Keith Spell on a count of deliberate homicide. A charge of attempted kidnapping was dropped under a plea agreement.
 
     Prosecutors are recommending a 100-year sentence. They want Spell to serve his time in prison.
 
     Attorneys for Spell want the mentally disabled 25-year-old from Parachute, Colorado, committed to a state institution for the disabled.
 
     Spell admitted to killing Sherry Arnold during an attempted abduction as the 43-year-old Sidney High School math teacher was out for a pre-dawn jog. An accomplice pleaded guilty last year and is awaiting sentencing.
 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Republican House majority leader is proposing to spend $275 million on flood protection and water projects in his home city of Fargo.
 
     Al Carlson made the announcement Wednesday on what he calls historic legislation. The bill would include $125 million for neighborhoods impacted by chronic flooding and $150 million for a project to transport water from the Missouri River to the Red River Valley.
 
     Carlson says Fargo has always had a water problem, either “too much or too little.”
 
     Carlson and Republican Bette Grande are up for re-election in a south Fargo district. One Democratic opponent, Pamela Anderson, says she thinks it’s “interesting” that Carlson decided to unveil the plan two weeks before the election and says he won’t be able to fulfill his promise if he loses.

  BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Public Service Commission has approved a permit for a new coal mine in the west-central part of the state.
 
     Regulators approved the permit for Fergus Falls, Minnesota-based Otter Tail Power Co. on Wednesday.
 
     Regulators say the company’s proposed Coyote Creek Mine near Beulah is the first major mine to be permitted in North Dakota since the late 1970s. The company still needs federal permits before the mine is built.
 
     Otter Tail Power wants to begin delivering coal to its Coyote Power Station in May 2016. Regulators say the power plant would use about 2.5 million tons of coal from the mine each year.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is investigating the illegal killing of four white-tailed deer in Emmons County.
 
     District game warden Erik Schmidt says the shooting happened during opening weekend of pheasant hunting season earlier this month.
 
     Two mature bucks were found dead in a bean field east of Strasburg. A doe and fawn were found in a stubble field southwest of Linton. Authorities believe all were shot late on Oct. 11 or early on Oct. 12.
 
     Anyone with information is asked to call the Report All Poachers telephone number at 800-472-2121, or contact Schmidt at 701-220-7160. RAP is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to a conviction. Reporting parties can remain anonymous.
 
     Deer gun season in North Dakota does not open until Nov. 7.

World and national news…

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) – Police in Canada’s capital are looking for another possible gunman, and perhaps two, after Wednesday’s shooting in and near the country’s Parliament building. They say a Canadian soldier who was standing guard at a war memorial was shot to death, and gunfire then erupted inside the nearby Parliament building. One gunman was killed. Witnesses say the soldier was gunned down by a man dressed all in black with a scarf over his face, and that the gunman then entered Parliament, where dozens of shots rang out.
 
     WASHINGTON (AP) – The United States is stepping up its vigilance against Ebola. Authorities say everyone traveling into the country from nations that have been stricken with Ebola will be monitored for symptoms for 21 days. They’ll include returning American aid workers, federal health employees and journalists — as well as West African travelers.
 
     CROWN POINT, Ind. (AP) – A man who allegedly confessed to killing seven women in Indiana has made a court appearance — but Darren Vann refused to even acknowledge his name to the judge. A sheriff explained later that Vann was upset that his hearing was in open court before dozens of journalists. The judge told Vann that he could stay in jail “the rest of his life until this hearing takes place.”
 
     CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) – The chancellor at the University of North Carolina says the school has fired or has begun disciplinary procedures against nine employees. This, after an investigation of an academic fraud scandal that dates back nearly two decades. A former Justice Department official found that more than 3,100 students — nearly half of them athletes — enrolled in classes they didn’t have to show up for, and received artificially inflated grades for research papers.
 
     DETROIT (AP) – The U.S. government is now urging the owners of nearly 8 million cars and trucks to have the air bags repaired because of a potential hazard. The government’s auto safety agency says inflator mechanisms can rupture when the bags are deployed, causing metal fragments to fly out. But car owners might have difficulty determining if their vehicle is equipped with the potentially dangerous air bags.
