Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0 A former Jamestown woman was sentenced Friday in Southeast District Court in Jamestown \u00a0to 15 months in prison, three years supervised probation, and pay restitution and fees totaling about $11,000,\u00a0for charges related to a November 8, 2012, Jamestown house fire, that destroyed\u00a0the Northwest Jamestown\u00a0\u00a0home.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Judge Jay Schmitz sentenced 29 year old, \u00a0Mary Kay Carlson,\u00a0 now\u00a0living in\u00a0Mayville.<\/p>\n

Carlson had previousy entered an Alford plea on December 2, 2013, to charges of criminal conspiracy, a Class B felony, tampering with physical evidence, a Class A misdemeanor, and insurance fraud, a Class C felony.<\/p>\n

An Alford plea\u00a0means the defendant acknowledges there is enough evidence to convict but does not confess to committing the crime.<\/p>\n

Carlson was accused of conspiring with co-conspirator Derek Carlson, her husband at the time, to set the fire that destroyed\u00a0the Jamestown home at 616 2nd Avenue, Northwest. Mary Kay Carlson is now divorced from Derek Carlson and\u00a0is remarried, \u00a0now using the name Mary Kay Wilhelm,\u00a0with \u00a0all court proceedings and documents referring to her as Carlson.<\/p>\n

Mary Kay Carlson was also accused of tampering with physical evidence when she transferred suicide notes, funeral plans, a cellphone, a thumb drive, a computer, one or more knives and a lock of hair to another person with the intent that those items be destroyed.<\/p>\n

The fraudulent insurance act charge alleged that Carlson made false or misleading information in a claim for payment.<\/p>\n

Fritz Fremgen, Stutsman County state\u2019s attorney, recommended a sentence of three years in prison and three years of probation along with $10,420 restitution.<\/p>\n

Court appointed defense attorney, Scott Sandness, of Jamestown,\u00a0 asked for a sentence of probation and restitution, citing\u00a0Carlson\u2019s health problems and her lack of a criminal record.<\/p>\n

Schmitz said the fire put other properties in the neighborhood in danger.<\/p>\n

Derek Carlson faces charges of arson and criminal conspiracy, both Class B felonies, although no court dates are currently scheduled, according to information on the North Dakota Courts Records Inquiry website.<\/p>\n

A Class A misdemeanor is punishable by a year in prison and a $2,000 fine. A Class C felony is punishable by five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. A Class B felony is punishable by 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.<\/p>\n

\u00a0OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – A new survey of business leaders suggests the economy will continue growing in nine Midwestern and Plains states in the months ahead.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The monthly Mid-America Business Conditions Index rose to 57.7 last month, compared with 53.2 in December.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Looking six months ahead, the business confidence index dropped to a still strong 62.2 from 66.5 in December.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The survey results are compiled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests growth, while a score below that suggests decline.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The two sides in a lawsuit filed by a prominent North Dakota businessman against his insurance company over defense costs in an alleged potato price fixing scheme are asking a judge to rule without the case going to trial.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ron Offutt Jr., of Fargo, is among the defendants in a lawsuit filed in June by Associated Wholesale Grocers Inc. against United Potato Growers of America, its affiliate United Potato Growers of Idaho and other parties. The suit accuses potato growers of driving up prices while limiting production.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Offutt filed a separate complaint accusing Twin City Fire Insurance Co. of breach of contract for failing to cover defense costs in the suit.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Both Offutt and the insurance company filed motions last week stating that the case should not go any further.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – MDU Resources Group Inc. says proposed $650 million pipeline to move natural gas from western North Dakota’s booming oil patch is the biggest and most expensive project in the company’s history.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Bismarck-based energy, mining and construction company says the proposed 375-mile pipeline route would begin in McKenzie County and connect to existing natural gas pipelines in northwestern Minnesota.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The company’s subsidiary, WBI Energy Inc., began seeking shipping comments for the project last week.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The project could initially move 400 million cubic feet of natural gas daily. That’s about four times what the city of Fargo uses in a day.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WBI says construction could begin in 2016 and be completed in a year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0WASHINGTON (AP) – Small farms have been off-limits to the federal agency that oversees workplace safety for decades. But lawmakers in North Dakota and other states are warning the Obama administration to keep regulators away from family farms and preserve years of precedent.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In recent days, members of Congress from both parties have signed on to separate letters directed to Labor Secretary Thomas Perez.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The letters express concern that small farms are becoming the subject of new federal scrutiny. They warn that only Congress can authorize the Occupational Safety and Health Administration inspecting small farms.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Since 1976, Congress has banned OSHA from regulating farm operations with 10 or fewer employees. But concern has been growing since a 2011 memo asserted the agency can regulate so-called “post-harvest activities.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The number of cattle in North Dakota is down slightly from a year ago.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The federal Agriculture Department says in its latest report that the state’s cattle and calf inventory on Jan. 1 totaled 1.77 million head, down 1 percent over the year. There were 943,000 beef cows and 17,000 milk cows.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cattle on feed for slaughter in North Dakota feedlots totaled 35,000 head, down 22 percent.

\u00a0NEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) – The Four Bears Casino near New Town is planning to break ground on a 4,000-plus seat multipurpose events center this year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 General Manager Patrick Packineau says the casino owned by the Three Affiliated Tribes has outgrown its 2,300-seat events center, which was built in 2000.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0 casino hosts conferences, weddings, parties and two oil and gas shows in its facility, along with concerts. It amounts to at least 50 events a year.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Packineau says the size of the events center limits what acts are willing to put on shows and limits seating for other types of events.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The new center will be connected to the north side of the casino. The current event center will be renovated and will remain in use.<\/p>\n

\nSuper Bowl…<\/p>\n

\u00a0EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – Russell Wilson methodically tossed a pair of touchdown passes and the Seattle Seahawks captured their first NFL championship with a dominating 43-8 victory over mistake-prone Denver in Super Bowl 48. It was the most lopsided Super Bowl since Dallas beat Buffalo 52-17 in 1993.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)- Linebacker Malcolm Smith said he never thought he would be named Super Bowl MVP. But after recovering a fumble and returning a Peyton Manning interception 69 yards for a touchdown, the Seattle Seahawks star became the third linebacker to win Super Bowl MVP.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0SEATTLE (AP) – With shouts, cheers and fireworks, Seattle residents celebrated a dominant victory in the Super Bowl – the city’s first major sports championship in more than 30 years.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Scores of people took to the streets in the city’s Pioneer Square and Capitol Hill neighborhoods. Seattle police planned an increased presence throughout the city Sunday night.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Back in New Jersey, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said, “We’re not sleeping. We’re staying up all night. The party’s just starting.”
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The last time a major Seattle sports franchise won a championship was in 1979 when the old SuperSonics took the NBA title. The WNBA’s Seattle Storm have won two championships, in 2004 and 2010.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Mayor Ed Murray said a Seahawks victory parade would happen Wednesday.

\n\u00a0UNDATED (AP) – Arizona lost a game, most likely its No. 1 ranking and perhaps one of its best players over the weekend. The top-ranked team in college basketball the past eight weeks, Arizona will probably fall out of the top spot when the Associated Press rankings come out today and could be without forward Brandon Ashley for the rest of the season with a foot injury suffered in the Wildcats’ 60-58 loss to California on Saturday night.
