  • Man rescues puppy left to die in flame-filled trash bin in northern Minnesota

    Feb 24, 2015

    Faint whimpers on a subzero night caught the ear of the pickup truck driver visiting the garbage dump on the edge of a northern Minnesota reservation village. Clayton Van Wert followed the sound to one of several bins inside the fenced-off yard. The metal dumpster was in flames. Van Wert said he pounded on the side of the dumpster and heard “howling, crying” before a puppy “emerged from the bottom.” http://www.startribune.com/local/west/293683151.html...

In Red Lake however, they were in full force. And although Pine River did jump out to a quick start and led 8-0 in the first quarter, once Red Lake caught up, they never gave up their lead.

  • Celebrating sobriety: Rock Sober program reaches out to youth

    Feb 24, 2015

    BEMIDJI -- On a Monday afternoon in Bemidji, three high school girls wait for a man in a van to pick them up after school. Each has a different reason for getting into the vehicle. For two of the girls, it's meth; for the other, it's pills and alcohol. All three are driven to an apartment building north of town -- where they bond in abstaining from their drug of choice, where they rock the sober lifestyle. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/3684704-celebrating-sobriety-rock-sober-program-reaches-out-youth...

  • Marijuana becomes legal in Alaska, but backers hope for low-key celebrations

    Feb 24, 2015

    JUNEAU, Alaska — Alaska on Tuesday became the third U.S. state to legalize the recreational use of marijuana, but organizers don't expect any public celebrations since it remains illegal to smoke marijuana in public. In the state's largest city, Anchorage police officers are ready to start handing out $100 fines to make sure taking a toke remains something to be done behind closed doors. http://www.startribune.com/politics/national/293799381.html...

  • 1,000 Minnesota patients interested in medical marijuana

    Feb 24, 2015

  • Peanut consumption in infancy helps prevent peanut allergies in kids at high risk, study finds

    Feb 24, 2015

    For years, parents of babies who seem likely to develop a peanut allergy have gone to extremes to keep them away from peanut-based foods. Now a major study suggests that is exactly the wrong thing to do. Exposing infants like these to peanuts before age 1 actually helped prevent a peanut allergy, lowering that risk by as much as 81 percent, doctors found. Instead of provoking an allergy, early exposure seemed to help build tolerance. http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/health/293731071.html...

  • American Indians' autopsy protests lead to a teachable moment

    Feb 24, 2015

    Two deaths in Carlton County have spurred intense discussions about American Indians’ right to decline an autopsy for loved ones when it violates their religious beliefs. Tribal advocates have called for local officials to be better trained in native customs after court orders were needed to prevent autopsies on the bodies of Mushkoob Aubid, a spiritual leader of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, and Autumn Martineau, a member of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. http://www.startribune.com/local/293769141.html...

  • Long, hot saunas may boost survival, reduce fatal heart problems, Finnish research in men says

    Feb 24, 2015

    CHICAGO — Frequent sauna baths may help you live longer, a study of Finnish men suggests. It would be welcome news if proven true — in Finland where hot, dry saunas are commonplace, and for Americans shivering in a snowy Nordic-like winter. Previous research suggested that saunas might improve blood vessel function and exercise capacity, and lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. The new study links long, hot sauna baths with even more benefits, including fewer deaths from heart attacks, strokes, various heart-related con...

  • Feb 24, 2015

    The Minnesota House of Representatives on Monday passed what they called the first of many efforts to reform the state’s child protection system. The House voted 130-0 to pass the legislation sponsored by Rep. Ron Kresha, R-Little Falls. The two-pronged measure first places child health and safety over keeping the family intact when social workers make decisions on how to intervene. It also reverses a law n passed last year that barred social workers from taking previously screened-out reports into consideration during investigations of s...
