Today's riddle: Why should you never iron a 4-leaf colver? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Fargo Police investigating homicide; suspect detained in Nebraska (valleynewslive.com) — Fargo police are investigating a suspected homicide after finding a deceased person in a 34th Street South apartment during a welfare check, and a 42-year-old Fargo man has been detained in Nebraska. Detectives are still gathering evidence and urge anyone with information to contact Fargo Police or submit anonymous tips, as they work to confirm the cause of death and timeline.
2. Debris may have clogged pump during Fargo street flooding (inforum.com) — City engineers say this week's flooding along 32nd Avenue near Hornbacher's in Fargo likely stemmed from debris, including a loose rope, jamming a stormwater pump while two of three service pumps were already down. Crews cleared the water by opening a sluice gate, and residents are urged to call the city if neighborhood storm pipes or drains aren't working properly.
3. Prep highlights: Quinn Erickson nets 4 goals in Moorhead girls soccer victory (inforum.com) — Fargo-area high school teams had a busy night, with West Fargo Horace, Fargo North, Fargo Oak Grove and Fargo Davies all in action against regional rivals. Local volleyball players racked up big kill and dig totals, while Davies boys soccer fell 3-1 despite a goal from Easton Keller. Moorhead and Park Christian squads also posted standout performances just across the river.
4. Today in History, 2005: Judge rules 10 Commandments marker outside City Hall can stay (inforum.com) — Fargo residents may remember the long-running debate over the Ten Commandments monument outside City Hall, which a federal judge ruled in 2005 could legally stay in place. The decision followed a lawsuit by local Red River Freethinkers members and leaned on similar Supreme Court and 8th Circuit rulings. The monument, donated in 1958, was deemed to convey both secular and religious messages.
5. September 29: Vietnam Protest in Fargo (prairiepublic.org) — Fargo once hosted a major Vietnam War protest, when hundreds of mostly college students peacefully demonstrated outside the Fargo Civic Center in 1969 during Vice President Spiro Agnew's visit. Organizers secured permits, read names of fallen soldiers, and maintained calm despite a fenced "militarized zone" and police presence. The event highlighted that anti-war sentiment was alive in North Dakota, not just on the coasts.
