Good morning, Fargo.

Fifty-two-year-old Barrett Prody, the former owner of JT Cigarro’s & O’Leary’s Irish Pub, was sentenced to nearly 16 years in federal court for leading a cocaine operation in Fargo-Moorhead that sold over 55 pounds of the drug and laundered the money for real estate and investments.

Revised textbooks on the five Native American tribes that share land with North Dakota will be ready for next school year thanks to a joint effort between the state’s Department of Public Instruction, tribes, and higher education groups—federal grant money helped update the nearly 30-year-old texts and a new version from the Sisseton-Wahpeton tribe was written in 90 days. The ebooks will be free online this summer and print editions will be sent to schools in the fall.

Tim Bergstraser left Minnesota State University-Moorhead after three seasons with a 75—22 record and a Division II Sweet Sixteen run to become the new head coach at Denver University in the Summit League.
