ND Treatment Courts Celebrate 10th Year
When the doors opened in Fargo and Grand Forks Juvenile Drug Courts, there was no way of knowing what the success would be and that ten years later they would be joined with four other juvenile drug courts, five adult drug courts, and one college drug court. More than 300 youth have participated in Fargo and Grand Forks Juvenile Drug Courts. To celebrate this success, a dinner was held at the Canad Inn, Grand Forks, on May 20, 2010. Past and present members of the Fargo and Grand Forks teams were joined by members of the Bismarck, Williston, Minot, and Devils Lake Juvenile Drug Courts.

Juvenile Drug Court Participants Build Garden at Zoo
Excerpt: Roosevelt Park Zoo in Minot is getting a native addition, thanks to the efforts of some local youth and the Upper Dakota Resource Conservation and Development Council.
No, it's not a bison or prairie falcon, but big bluestem and sideoats grama and other native plants that the state's earliest settlers encountered.
The serendipitous event began in March when Valerie Potter, coordinator of the Northwest District's Juvenile Drug Court, contacted Becky Dewitz, education coordinator for the zoo, about teaming up for a summertime project.

Devils Lake, N.D. The North Dakota juvenile drug court system has expanded into Devils Lake.
The system started in May 2000 with courts in Fargo and Grand Forks. Minot, Williston and Bismarck also have drug courts.
Judge Donovan Foughty in Devils Lake says the goal is to reinforce positive things rather than to punish negative acts.
