A BRIEF RETURN OF ARCTIC AIR TO THE REGION LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A parade of hundreds of law enforcement vehicles lit up the streets of Fargo with flashing lights Monday en route to the funeral of slain Fargo police officer Jason Moszer.
Slain Fargo police officer Jason Moszer was remembered Monday as a hero who was fulfilling his mission when he was gunned down in a downtown Fargo neighborhood.
Fargo Chief of Police David Todd told thousands of mourners at Scheels Arena Monday, which seats up to 6,000 people, that Moszer was a “cop’s cop” who was committed to saving others. Todd says Moszer was helping victims of domestic violence and protecting residents from a dangerous person when he was shot and killed.
Todd says police are keeping an empty seat where Moszer sat during briefings. Todd says Moszer’s call sign, “Edward 143,” will no longer be used by Fargo police.
The funeral for Moszer was officiated by the Rev. Kevin Kloster, a onetime Fargo police chaplain. Kloster also performed the wedding ceremony for Moszer and his wife, Rachel.
Kloster says Jason Moszer was “a warrior, a hero, a husband, a father, a son and so much more.”
Kloster acknowledged the officers who came to support Moszer’s family and called their sight “a moving thing.”
Many of the officers gathered early Monday morning at the Fargodome, where it took 15 minutes for them to clear the parking lot. Other convoys came into the city from different directions.
Police Det. Mario Mora and two other officers drove 12 hours from Elkhart County, Indiana. Mora says he has talked with officers who came from New York and Texas. He says it makes him proud to be part of law enforcement.
Outside Scheels Arena, a huge American flag was hung between two portable cranes. The Patriot Guard Riders, a volunteer group of flag-carrying motorcycle riders, lined the entrance to the arena. Moszer was an avid motorcycle rider.
The 1 hour, 45 minute service ended with both police and military honor guard ceremonies and recreation of officer status checks, the last of which went unanswered from Moszer’s call sign. The recessional song was “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi, which was a favorite among Moszer and his fellow motorcycle enthusiasts.
The funeral was followed by a 21-mile procession through the Fargo metropolitan area.
Hundreds of police vehicles from several states and Canada were leading a procession.
The procession of officers and first responders weaved through Fargo, West Fargo and Moorhead, Minnesota.
Moszer is the first Fargo officer to die in the line of duty in more than 130 years.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – An external investigation of the state Department of Transportation’s Motor Vehicle Division has concluded that the agency has a hostile work environment due to stressful conditions and an “overbearing director.”
North Dakota Human Resources Management Services launched the probe at the request of DOT last fall.
Deputy DOT Director Darcy Rosendahl says the extent of low morale detailed by the investigation was surprising.
Director Linda Sitz left her position and accepted another with DOT before the conclusion of the investigation. She didn’t respond to Tribune requests for comment.
The investigation recommends that Motor Vehicle get a new director and that the agency make policy changes on such matters as breaks and overtime. Rosendahl says that’s being done.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – The number of burglaries in Minot continues to mount.
Police on Sunday responded to break-ins reported at a beverage business and at the city’s Public Works building.
Officers also responded to a home burglary on Saturday that was interrupted by the homeowner, who chased the suspect from the property.
Minot police have responded to nearly two dozen business, home and storage unit burglaries this year. Several suspects were arrested last month.
Burglaries in Minot last year increased 60 percent from the previous year.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – Minot-area residents over the weekend got an up-close look at the city’s new airport terminal.
The $43 million facility becomes operational on Feb. 29. Officials held a public open house on Saturday, and thousands of people showed up.
Airport Director Andy Solsvig says the terminal project took about five years. Construction has taken about 2 1/2 years. The terminal has six gates, four with jet bridges.
Minot is on the edge of the western oil patch, and passenger numbers at the airport have tripled in recent years as energy production has boomed. The new terminal will be able to handle about 300,000 annual boardings – three times the number of the current facility.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – Even as oil’s big plunge has spurred an exodus from the North Dakota oil patch, many people who’ve had tough times elsewhere say they’re determined to stay put in the new lives they’ve made for themselves.
The hub of the oil patch, Williston, still teems with newcomers who find work available and the roads still groan with oil traffic.
Kennedy Mugemuzi (muhg-MOO’-zee) came to Williston make money, and is working two full-time jobs. He says his family is staying for the good schools and the strong economy. Emily Siliven, manager at a U-Haul, says she’s happy to have a steady job.
While Williston offered a lifeline for people seeking an economic foothold, it may be those sticking around that save it in return from withering like other post-boom oil towns.
In world and national news…
BEIRUT (AP) – The U.N. special envoy for Syria says he will convene a task force designed to help monitor a new cease-fire agreement as soon as it takes effect later this week. The envoy says the cease-fire reached by the United States and Russia and set to begin at midnight Saturday in Syria gives the two world powers the task of making sure that everyone else abides by it, too. The agreement does not apply to attacks against the Islamic State group or the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front. The U.N. official says the world body considers them terrorist groups.
MIAMI (AP) – South Florida’s three Cuban-American members of the House of Representatives are shifting their support for president from former candidate Jeb Bush to Marco Rubio. Republicans Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Mario Diaz-Balart and Carlos Curbelo say they are backing Rubio because he could unite the GOP. Bush quit the race Saturday after disappointing finishes in the Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries.
ATLANTA (AP) – Forecasters say fierce storms could bring strong tornadoes, hail and damaging winds to several states in the Deep South during the day and into the night Tuesday. The National Weather Service estimates that more than 7 million people in parts of five states – Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Georgia – are in an area of enhanced risk for a few strong tornadoes and other severe weather during tomorrow’s storms.
MIAMI (AP) – A judge has sentenced a South Florida man a second time to life in prison for fatally stabbing his middle school friend when both were 14. The judge ruled Monday in the case of 26-year-old Michael Hernandez. Hernandez had sought to reduce the prison sentence he is serving for the killing 12 years ago in a middle school bathroom. The original life sentence had to be reconsidered after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that juveniles could not automatically be sentenced to life without chance of parole.
LA PLATA, Md. (AP) – A woman who was found pushing her dead son in a playground swing in Maryland last year will avoid time in prison or a mental institution under a plea deal. News media outlets report that as part of the deal Monday, a judge found Romechia Simms not criminally responsible. Under a conditional release order, Simms must take her medication and see a psychiatrist. She had been suffering from schizophrenia when she pushed her 3-year-old son on a swing for more than 40 hours before he died of hypothermia and dehydration.
