Hot Cars Are Deadly for Kids | Fargo News

Hot cars are deadly traps—especially for kids. Temperatures inside can soar 30-40 degrees hotter than outside in just 10 minutes, turning your vehicle into an oven. Heat exhaustion can escalate to heat stroke in minutes, causing seizures or worse. Kids are at extreme risk due to their smaller bodies and faster heat absorption. No amount of time is safe. Never leave anyone unattended in a car—ever. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Community Rides for Katarina's Justice | Fargo News

A moving community rally unfolded this past Saturday with “Katarina’s Sunshine Ride,” a motorcycle event born from heartbreak and hope. Riders paid $20 for lunch, a t-shirt, and the chance to support the Louthain family’s fight for justice and safer roads after Katarina’s tragic death in a crash caused by a drunk, distracted driver. The ride also featured a $500 raffle, with proceeds funding the “Justice for Katarina” campaign. Katarina’s mother survived the crash with serious injuries, while her killer, Travis Bell, received a six-year sentence for vehicular homicide and injury. The ride was more than a memorial—it was a call to action, uniting riders and families in a powerful plea to end impaired and distracted driving before it claims another life.

70-Year-Old Calls 911 for Fake Shooting | Fargo News

A 70-year-old North Dakota man pulled off a wild hoax by calling 911 claiming someone was shot in a cornfield—only to be met by a full emergency response from three counties. When officers arrived, they found no victim, no shooter, and just the caller, Allen Ballensky, who was allegedly high, armed, and driving with a suspended license. He’s now facing multiple charges—including reckless endangerment, false 911 reporting, drug possession, and illegally carrying a weapon—and could be on the hook for the entire cost of the massive response. This isn’t his first rodeo: he’s got a decades-long criminal record, including drug and theft convictions, and is currently on parole.
