\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2013 The state Board of Higher Education will increase salaries for college presidents between 3 and 5 percent based on a formula that considers performance and market comparisons.
\n\u00a0

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The plan calls for 5 percent raises for Valley City State\u2019s Steve Shirley and Mayville State\u2019s Gary Hagen, and 4 percent raises for North Dakota State\u2019s Dean Bresciani, Lake Region State\u2019s Doug Darling and Williston State\u2019s Raymond Nadolny.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Mandan businessman convicted of conspiring to sell synthetic marijuana has pleaded guilty to another drug crime.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thirty-three-year-old William Nickel has been given a one-year suspended sentence and two years of probation for testing positive for methamphetamine, a misdemeanor.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The co-owner of the Big Willies smoke shop was sentenced last October to serve a year in prison for conspiring to sell synthetic marijuana, but his prison sentence is on hold while the North Dakota Supreme Court decides on his appeal.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A jury convicted Nickel and fellow co-owner Ryan Zueger on the felony charge in August 2012. Zueger was ordered to serve two years in prison. His sentence also is on hold.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Job Service North Dakota survey says counties that produced oil last year held nine of the top 10 spots in average annual wages.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Research analyst Michael Ziesch (zish) says North Dakota’s average annual wage increased 10 percent last year to nearly $46,000. Ziesch says the state’s average wage still lags behind the national average of about $49,200.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Job Service figures show that oil-rich Williams County ranked first last year with an average annual salary of $78,364. That’s up from $70,027 in 2011 and more than triple the average wage in the county a decade ago.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Counties that have lignite mining or power plants had held the distinction of having the best-paid workers in North Dakota until the state’s recent oil boom.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The federal Interior Department says it’s a major player in North Dakota’s economy.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The department says energy development, tourism and outdoor recreation on land it oversees is a $6.9 billion industry in North Dakota and creates almost 35,000 jobs.\u00a0 The department’s agencies include the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The department says people visit federal lands in North Dakota more than 1.4 million times a year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The statistics are from an economic report for fiscal 2012 released this week. It comes as Interior Secretary Sally Jewell is touring western North Dakota’s oil patch and Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jewell says the state’s oil, coal, natural gas and wind energy development is “ground zero for an ‘all-of-the-above’ energy strategy.”‘<\/p>\n

\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The Williston Public School District No. 1 and the district’s teacher’s union are continuing contract negotiations as the school year approaches.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0 board has proposed a $1.5 million increase in salaries, keeping the same $33,000 base salary but increasing pay in three of the lower cells of the matrix. Teachers in higher standing would not receive additional pay nothing under that structure.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Williston Education Association has countered with an offer of $39,000. It says it will consider the board’s proposal and respond later.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Another contentious issue is sick leave. The board wants to cap sick day accumulation at 120, with any excess days being paid out at the end of a school year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The WEA says the district is lowering the benefit.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A dedication ceremony was held Wednesday for the $8 million nonprofit complex dubbed Wolf Run Village that will provide affordable housing for public service workers such as teachers, law officers, emergency responders, and city and county employees.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Watford City is in the heart of the booming western oil patch, where housing is difficult to find. Wolf Run Village was built by Bakken Housing Partners LLC with help from business donations, county and state grants and a loan subsidy.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The complex also will have a child care center for up to 200 children that is scheduled to be complete by February.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) – Nidal Hasan is denying that he’s deliberately charting a course toward his own conviction and a sentence of death. Hasan is acting as his own attorney at his trial in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage in Texas that left 13 people dead. His stand-by attorney Wednesday said it’s “clear” that the Army psychiatrist is “working toward a death penalty.” Hasan called that a “twist of the facts.” The trial has come to a halt on its second day.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LOS ANGELES (AP) – The White House says it’s told the Russian government why it’s canceling a planned summit next month between President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Obama’s spokesman says the Russians were told that Obama thinks “it would be more constructive to postpone the summit until we have more results from our shared agenda.” The cancellation reflects U.S. anger over Russia’s decision to allow National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden into Russia.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – There’s renewed hope\u00a0 that production might resume at a factory park that had been jointly run by North and South Korea. The North says it’s lifting a ban on operations at the park. It was shut down when North Korea pulled out its 53,000 workers in April amid tensions with the South.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LOS ANGELES (AP) – President Barack Obama says he’d save money if he refinanced the mortgage on his Chicago home. But he hasn’t taken advantage of current low interest rates because, as he says, “when you’re president you have to be a little careful about these transactions.” Obama didn’t say how much money he could save. He commented while answering questions submitted by the users of Zillow, an online real estate database. The session was part of the president’s trip to Phoenix and California to promote his housing proposals.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) – A firearms manufacturer says it’s moving its corporate offices out of New York partly because of the state’s strict new gun control law. Kahr Firearms Group of Pearl River is the first gunmaker in the state to blame the law for its departure. A spokesman said the company felt uncertain about its future after the law passed in January. He said it wants a friendlier environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
