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.

Cancer Rising in Africa | Fargo News

Cancer in sub-Saharan Africa is set to more than double by 2050, driven by aging, urbanization, and rising tobacco and alcohol use—forcing patients into later-stage diagnoses with limited access to care. Without radiotherapy centers and facing out-of-pocket costs that swallow 80% of treatment expenses, many sell assets or take loans. Beyond the physical toll, survivors endure social rejection and stigma, often abandoned by families and communities. Yet hope persists: Nigeria’s health investments, HPV vaccine rollouts, and prevention campaigns aim to turn the tide, pushing for a future where cancer doesn’t mean financial ruin or isolation.
