Scoops of the Day

St. Patrick’s Day Parade Safety Plans 🍀

With the St. Patrick’s Day parade now set for March 22 due to weather concerns, local law enforcement is preparing to keep celebrations safe. Fargo Police will use their real-time crime center to monitor the event, a system that has proven effective at large gatherings, including last year’s street fair. Officials stress the importance of post-event debriefs to improve future responses. Additionally, the parade route has been slightly adjusted, now ending at 5th St. instead of 4th Ave. For more details, read the full article here.

From the Crease to the Streets 🏒

Three former Moorhead Spud goalies have traded in their hockey pads for badges, finding careers in law enforcement. Beth Jutting (Moorhead PD), Betsy Miller (Fargo PD), and Lydia Norwig (Denver area) all credit their time as goalies for preparing them for high-pressure situations on the job.

“Goalie’s such a mental game,” Jutting explains, comparing the focus and resilience needed on the ice to the demands of policing. Norwig echoes the sentiment, noting that both roles require quick decision-making under stress. Their shared journey from teammates to officers showcases the strong sense of discipline and community fostered by Moorhead hockey. For more details, read the full article here.

Driven to Give

Helping Hands on Wheels 🚗

Bruns Automotive is turning old vehicles into learning opportunities for students by donating used cars to schools in need. Instead of heading to the scrapyard, these vehicles provide hands-on experience for students at Fargo South and Jamestown Valley Tech Center, helping them learn mechanical skills. If a car is repaired to a safe standard, it’s even gifted to a student in need. Donors can also claim the vehicle’s cash value as a tax deduction. The initiative honors the shop’s legacy and commitment to the community. For more details, read the full article here.
