  • Quick-cook wild rice finds its niche

    Feb 16, 2017

    Wild rice isn’t actually rice, and it’s not really wild. This indigenous grass produces utterly delicious seeds. Nutty and woodsy in fragrance and flavor, wild rice is an American Indian staple. But much of what’s sold takes about an hour to cook. The game changer is Quick-Cook Wild Rice from Red Lake Nation Foods, which can be prepared in 25 minutes. http://www.startribune.com/quick-cook-wild-rice-finds-its-niche/413852153/...

  • Delayed land sale could mean new start date or location for TrekNorth expansion

    Feb 16, 2017

    BEMIDJI—A delayed land deal has prompted TrekNorth charter school's leaders to look for other spots for a planned elementary school expansion. The Bemidji-area charter school already has a building on Paul Bunyan Drive that serves students in grades 6-12, and staff there hope to build an adjacent building on the same property for students in grades K-5, a move that would effectively double the school's enrollment, which is at about 240 students. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/education/4218862-delayed-land-sale-could-mea...
