		<description><![CDATA[In this Wednesday edition of Bonnie & Friends, Bonnie Amistadi returns from vacation to join Jace Denman for a breakdown of a busy week in the Red River Valley. The weather continues its "roller coaster" trend, with sunny 50-degree days leading into a potentially beautiful weekend, though Saturday looks to be the pick day with a high of 72°F.   The show highlights major community shifts, including the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center rebranding as Solera and moving to a larger facility. In the sports world, the Minnesota Wild have taken a commanding 3-2 series lead over the Dallas Stars, while the Timberwolves prepare for a high-stakes Game 6 against Denver. Between updates on a local "parking ticket" text scam and the tragic end to the search for Al Oden, the team sits down with Jody Hudson to discuss Solera’s expanded mission.   Key Moments Solera's New Dawn: Jody Hudson, Development Director, explains that the Rape and Abuse Crisis Center has changed its name to Solera to remove barriers to seeking help and will move into the old Fargo Public Schools administrative building on June 1st. Wild Take Control: Jace recaps the Minnesota Wild's efficient 4-2 Game 5 victory in Dallas, highlighted by Kirill Kaprizov’s franchise-record 17th career postseason goal. Timberwolves Turnover Trouble: The Wolves dropped Game 5 to the Nuggets after committing 25 turnovers, missing key starters Anthony Edwards and Dante DiVincenzo due to injuries. Fargo Text Scam Alert: Jace warns listeners about a widespread text scam regarding fake parking tickets coming from international area codes like the Philippines (+63). Al Oden Search Concludes: Somber news confirms that 73-year-old Al Oden, who had dementia, was found deceased in a submerged vehicle in the Cheyenne River. WNBA Draft Insights: The Minnesota Lynx bolstered their roster by selecting TCU point guard Olivia Miles with the #2 overall pick. Recital with a Cause: John Andreessen of the FM Rotary discusses tomorrow night’s benefit concert at First Lutheran Church to support global polio eradication. Credit Card Confessions: The "Question of the Morn" unearths listeners' first major credit card purchases, ranging from a $249 Sears microwave to a $600 RCA television.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this Tuesday edition of Bonnie & Friends, Bonnie Amistadi and Jace Denman welcome a breezy morning with temperatures expected to soar to 59°F. The show is packed with major local headlines, including a murder trial beginning in Fargo, a shooting investigation on the city's south side, and the final interviews for NDSU’s next president. The sports world is equally intense as the Timberwolves prepare for their playoff battle against the Nuggets while celebrating a reservist-led victory over the Pelicans. Between updates on the Baltimore bridge collapse and a political rift in the North Dakota GOP, the team explores a heartwarming story about a squirrel named "Toothy" and dives into a "Question of the Morn" about weird housecleaning discoveries. Key Moments NBA Playoff Prep: Jace recaps the Timberwolves' regular-season finale win and looks ahead to their best-of-seven series against the Denver Nuggets, emphasizing the need for rotational health. Murder Trial Begins: A jury has been seated for the trial of 31-year-old Leo D’Arto, accused in the August 2024 shooting death of Samson Blair. South Fargo Shooting: Police search for a suspect after a man was found with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound on 16 1/2 Street South; the victim and suspect are believed to be known to each other. NDSU Presidential Finalists: The search for NDSU’s next leader officially concludes today with final interviews for Drs. Marshall Stewart, Bernie Savarese, and Alan Smith. The Rescue of "Toothy": A Pennsylvania woman captured a wild squirrel with overgrown teeth curling into its nose, taking it to a rehab center for a successful "trim". Bridge Investigation: Updates on the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore reveal the recovery of more victims and the significant logistical impact on East Coast shipping. GOP Internal Friction: A narrow party vote to strip the GOP brand from candidates who skip conventions is labeled "symbolic" by Secretary of State Michael Howe. Spring Cleaning Finds: Listeners share hilarious and gross discoveries from under appliances, including seven stray socks, a set of car keys missing for a month, and petrified snacks.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this high-energy Monday edition of Bonnie & Friends, Bonnie Amistadi and Jace Denman recap a weekend of spring cleaning and major sports milestones. The Red River Valley is currently enjoying a reprieve from the wind, with temperatures starting at 33°F and heading toward a high of 59°F. The sports world is dominated by the start of the NBA playoffs, where the Timberwolves prepared for a high-stakes series against the Denver Nuggets. Between updates on a local shooting investigation and a major bridge collapse in Maryland, the duo explores the "Question of the Morn" regarding the most unusual items discovered during spring cleaning—ranging from long-lost car keys to petrified snacks. Key Moments NBA Playoff Fever: Jace recaps the Timberwolves' preparations for their best-of-seven opening-round series against the Nuggets in Denver, noting the importance of rotational health and the challenge of facing the reigning standards of the league. Bridge Tragedy Update: The show covers the ongoing investigation into the Dali cargo ship collision that caused the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, noting the recovery of more victims and the significant impact on East Coast logistics. South Fargo Shooting: Police continue to search for a suspect after an adult male was found with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound on 16 1/2 Street South; authorities believe the victim and suspect are known to each other. Housecleaning Hall of Fame: Listeners share hilarious and gross finds from under couch cushions and behind appliances, including seven stray socks, a set of car keys missing for a month, and a "retirement fund" of loose change. NDSU Presidential Finalists: The search for NDSU’s next leader concludes today with final interviews for the three contenders, followed by a public meet-and-greet in the Oceti Sakowin Ballroom. GOP Internal Rift: North Dakota Republicans face friction after a narrow vote to strip the party brand from candidates who skip conventions, a move Secretary of State Michael Howe calls "symbolic" rather than legally binding. Grain Safety Robots: Ag Director Bridgette Readel highlights National Ag Grain Safety Week, featuring "Grain Weevil" robots that prevent farmers from having to enter dangerous bins. Tiger Woods Arrest: The team reacts to news of Tiger Woods' arrest for a suspected DUI after a single-vehicle rollover, noting he refused a blood test at the hospital.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this Monday morning edition of Bonnie & Friends, Bonnie Amistadi and Jace Denman celebrate a long-awaited weekend warmup where temperatures hit 65°F on Sunday. While the week ahead looks promising with a potential for 70°F by Thursday, the team notes the ongoing "roller coaster" pattern as cooler air is forecasted for the following weekend. The show is heavy with major headlines, including a somber update on the search for missing Wahpeton man Al Oden and a tragic house fire in the Twin Cities. On a lighter note, Jace provides a final (hopefully) report on his vehicle's mouse infestation, and the sports segment covers Rory McIlroy’s historic back-to-back Masters win along with a dominant performance by the Minnesota Twins. Key Moments Al Oden Found: A somber update to a story covered previously: 73-year-old Al Oden, who had dementia, was found deceased in a submerged vehicle in Valley City nearly two weeks after disappearing. Larry Knutson Retires: The legendary play-by-play voice of the Moorhead Spuds and Concordia Cobbers calls it a career after 50 years behind the mic. Masters Repeat: Rory McIlroy joins an elite group, including Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, as only the fourth golfer in history to win back-to-back Masters tournaments, taking home $4.5 million in prize money. The "Poof Ball" Mystery Solved: Jace discovers that the clever mouse in his SUV air filter actually stole the "poof ball" tassel off his favorite MSUM beanie to build a nest. Twins Ambush Boston: The Minnesota Twins improve to 10-7 after a massive 11-run explosion in the first two innings against the Red Sox, sweeping their four-game series against Detroit earlier in the week. Fargo Police Chief Update: The Fargo City Commission opted not to fast-track Interim Chief Travis Stefanowicz's permanent appointment, deciding instead to move up the formal hiring date to May. Frozen Four Conclusion: Jace recaps the national championship game in Las Vegas where Denver edged out Wisconsin 2-1 to claim their record 11th national title. Caffeine Culture: The "Question of the Morn" dives into listeners' daily habits, revealing a wide range of reliance on coffee and energy drinks—from Trucker Trevor’s six daily energy drinks to those who stick strictly to water.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this Tuesday morning broadcast, Bonnie Amistadi and Jace Denman guide listeners through a week of "roller coaster" weather. While the region is currently stuck in a cooler trend with isolated showers, a mid-week surge is expected to bring beautiful sunshine and highs nearing 70°F by Thursday. The show is headlined by a major milestone in local media: the retirement of legendary play-by-play voice Larry Knutson after 50 years behind the mic. On the news front, the team covers a historic 1981 cold case breakthrough in Barnes County and a new toxic workplace lawsuit against a local restaurant. Jace also provides a much-anticipated update on his battle with the surprisingly resourceful mice living in his vehicle. Key Moments Larry Knutson Retires: The voice of the Moorhead Spuds and Concordia Cobbers officially calls it a career after five decades. Larry reflects on his timing, noting it was fitting to retire following the Spud hockey team's second straight championship win. The Case of the Missing Tassel: Jace discovers that the mice in his SUV have moved beyond just nesting—they actually pulled the "poof ball" off his favorite MSUM beanie to use as building material for a nest in his air filter. Cold Case Breakthrough: 65-year-old Nancy Trottier has been charged with murder in connection with the 1981 death of a newborn named Rebecca. DNA technology linked the infant to the Trottier family tree after the baby was found in a wooded area 45 years ago. Police Chief Hiring Update: The Fargo City Commission opted not to fast-track the hiring of Interim Chief Travis Stefanowicz. Instead, they moved up the official hiring date, with a final vote now expected by May 11th. Lynx Draft Review: Jace breaks down the WNBA draft, where the Minnesota Lynx selected 5'10" point guard Olivia Miles from TCU with the second overall pick, followed by Lanny White from Utah in the third round. Twins’ Hot Start: The Minnesota Twins continue their early-season success, improving to a 10-7 record after ambushing the Boston Red Sox with 11 runs in the first two innings of their 13-6 victory. Planting Season Prep: The "Question of the Morn" features listeners' spring planting plans. Gary reports he is preparing to plant 300 bare root trees, while Jace and Bonnie debate the best ways to protect new gardens from the local rabbit population.

The show covers the tragic conclusion of the search for missing Wahpeton man Al Oden and highlights a push for a permanent Police Chief in Fargo. In the sports world, Jace breaks down Rory McIlroy’s historic back-to-back Masters victory and the Minnesota Timberwolves' regular-season finale, which solidified them as the #6 seed.

Key Moments Masters History: Rory McIlroy joined an elite group of four golfers to win back-to-back Masters tournaments, taking home $4.5 million in prize money at 12 under par. The Case of the Missing Poof Ball: Jace discovered that a second mouse in his SUV SUV air filter had been stealing the tassel off his MSUM beanie to build a nest. Timberwolves Playoffs Set: Minnesota wraps the regular season at 49-33 to secure the #6 seed; they face the Denver Nuggets in the first round starting Saturday in Denver. Al Oden Found: A somber update confirms the discovery of 73-year-old Al Oden, found deceased in a submerged vehicle in the Cheyenne River nearly two weeks after going missing. Permanent Police Chief? Fargo City Commissioner Michelle Turnberg is formally requesting that Travis Stefanowicz skip the "interim" label and be appointed as full-time Chief of Police immediately. Twin Cities Severe Weather: Meteorologists warn of an enhanced level 3 risk today in Southern Minnesota, with threats of supercell tornadoes and baseball-sized hail.

		<description><![CDATA[In this Tuesday morning edition of Bonnie & Friends, Bonnie Amistadi and Jace Denman celebrate the return of spring weather, with temperatures forecasted to hit 66°F tomorrow and 69°F on Thursday. The team reflects on a busy news cycle, including the Fargo City Commission’s decision to move up the police chief hiring timeline and a tragic 1981 cold case breakthrough in Barnes County. The sports world is equally active, featuring a deep dive into the 2026 WNBA Draft, where the Minnesota Lynx selected point guard Olivia Miles. On a lighter note, the duo discusses the retirement of a local broadcasting icon, Jace's ongoing battle with a mouse that used his favorite beanie to build a nest, and a "Question of the Morn" that sparks a fierce debate over favorite cookies. Key Moments Broadcasting Legend Retires: After 50 years and nearly 5,000 games behind the mic, Moorhead Spuds and Concordia Cobbers play-by-play voice Larry Knutson officially calls it a career. The "Poof Ball" Nest: Jace provides a frustrating update on his vehicle's mouse infestation, revealing a rodent tore the tassel off his MSUM beanie to build a nest in his air filter. Barnes County Cold Case: DNA technology has led to murder charges against 65-year-old Nancy Trottier for the 1981 death of a newborn baby found at Valley City State University. Lynx Draft New Blood: The Minnesota Lynx use their #2 overall pick to land TCU standout point guard Olivia Miles, adding 5'11" shooting guard Laney White in the third round. Twins Ambush Boston: The Minnesota Twins improve to a 10-7 winning record after an 11-run explosion in the first two innings against the Boston Red Sox. Fargo Police Chief Update: The City Commission declined to fast-track Interim Chief Travis Stefanowicz's appointment, choosing instead to close applications on April 28th with a final vote potentially on May 11th. Search for Al Oden Ends: A somber report confirms that missing Wahpeton man Al Oden was found deceased in a submerged vehicle in the Cheyenne River. Favorite Cookie Showdown: The "Question of the Morn" unearths a wide range of listener preferences, from Bonnie’s love of traditional chocolate chip to Jace’s penchant for "monster cookies" and a surprising number of votes for shortbread.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this high-energy Friday edition of Bonnie & Friends, Bonnie Amistadi and Jace Denman celebrate the arrival of spring as temperatures prepare to climb into the 60s by Sunday. The duo recaps an eventful week, including their victory in a local sled hockey fundraiser and a lighthearted investigation into the "poof ball" stolen from Jace's favorite MSUM beanie—found inside a mouse nest in his vehicle. Between breaking news on the search for a permanent Fargo Police Chief and a high-stakes rifle hunting ordinance in Clay County, the show dives into the "Question of the Morn" regarding the best meals listeners have eaten lately. Key Moments Warmup on the Way: Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki predicts a weekend warmup with Sunday potentially hitting 65°F, which would be the warmest day of the spring so far. Police Chief Debate: City Commissioner Michelle Turnberg is pushing to skip the "interim" label and immediately appoint Travis Stefanowicz as Fargo's full-time Chief of Police. Sled Hockey Victory: The team celebrates a fun win in the Hope, Inc. sled hockey tournament, though Jace notes some discrepancies in the final scoring stats between him and Dean. The Case of the Missing Tassel: Jace discovers that a second mouse in his SUV has been pulling apart his beanie to build a nest inside his air filter. Frozen Four Heartbreak: Jace recaps a disappointing night for the #2 seeded North Dakota Fighting Hawks, who fell 2-1 to Wisconsin in the national semifinals in Las Vegas. Clay County Rifle Ban: More than 100 people weighed in on a proposal to ban high-powered rifles west of Highway 9 while keeping them legal to the east. Founding Moorhead: A new documentary titled Founding Moorhead is set to premiere on April 30th, exploring the local history of the city. Food Fight Friday: The show wraps up by debating the best foods to make on the grill, ranging from steaks and brats to "beer can chicken".]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this Thursday morning broadcast of Bonnie & Friends, Bonnie Amistadi and Jace Denman recap a "weird" weather week that saw record-breaking 60°F temperatures followed by a high wind warning and intense localized downpours. While the region prepares for a spring trend toward the 60s by the weekend, the mood is dampened by tragic news of a fatal house fire in the Twin Cities involving an NHL correspondent. The sports world takes center stage as the duo previews a massive day for North Dakota hockey fans with the Frozen Four kicking off in Las Vegas. Between updates on NDSU's postseason basketball path and the Minnesota Twins' surprising 6-6 start, the team navigates bizarre local headlines—including a black bear roaming North Fargo and Jace's ongoing battle with a surprisingly clever mouse in his vehicle. Key Moments Frozen Four Fever: Jace highlights a huge day for the region as the #2 seed North Dakota Fighting Hawks take on Wisconsin in Las Vegas, followed by Michigan vs. Denver. North Fargo Bear Alert: The show issues a public safety announcement after a 130-pound black bear was spotted near Northport Hornbacher’s and the Fargo VA. The bear was eventually treed and monitored by Game and Fish. Bison Postseason Path: The NDSU men secure a #14 seed to face Michigan State in the NCAA tournament, while the women’s team earns a #1 seed in the WBIT to host Chattanooga. The "Toothy" Mouse Saga: Jace resets his "days since last mouse" counter to zero after a second clever rodent outsmarted a glue trap in his new SUV. Feline Stowaway: Bonnie shares a lighter story of a cat that survived a 70-mile ride from Montreal to Ontario inside a Walmart logistics trailer. Primary Residence Credit: North Dakota Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus reports a record year with nearly 165,000 applications, providing an estimated $231 million in property tax relief. Moon Base 2033: UND Space Studies Chair Pablo de Leon discusses the Artemis II mission and NASA’s goal of completing a lunar base by 2033 to harvest critical minerals. Tobacco Compliance Fail: A quarter of Fargo businesses checked by Public Health failed tobacco compliance checks, with youth vaping rates in the state reported at twice the national average.]]></description>
