From KKCQ Radio Fosston Class A State Quarterfinal – Red Lake 55 vs. Maranatha Christian 59 Red Lake started out the game firing, led by Russell Kingbird's 15 points at half time.

CASS LAKE -- If you want to know the weather in northern Minnesota, you don't turn to the Weather Channel -- you watch the Rez Report. Local comedian Rob Fairbanks started posting videos of himself as the Rez Reporter, an Ojibwe weatherman with an exaggerated accent, about two years ago on Facebook and YouTube for fun.

In the middle of the afternoon of March 21, 2005, I was at my desk making calls to arrange some feature story interviews. A second line flashed, but I'm not good at interrupting one call to put another on hold. I'd let the receptionist take a message and call back. A couple of minutes later, the receptionist rushed into my cubicle holding a scribbled note on a piece of scrap paper -- "shooting at Red Lake High School." I terminated the line I was on and asked her to explain. She said someone who sounded like a boy crying had called and told...

DULUTH — Fifteen people have been arrested in a two-day prostitution sting conducted by members of the Duluth Police Department and the Lake Superior Drug and Violent Crime Task Force.

The operation was conducted Wednesday and Thursday. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/region/3704930-duluth-prostitution-sting-nets-arrest-15-men-includ...
Bemidji’s Servants of Shelter first organized in 2008 with the goal of helping the area’s homeless population. The premise was simple: local churches would take turns hosting homeless people week by week during the winter. In the beginning of the project, the guests, chaperoned by volunteers, slept in Sunday school rooms and gyms on inflatable mattresses. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/business/3704416-helping-homeless-anderson-fabrics-donates-area-homeless-program...
Washington, D.C. - Since 2007, National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is observed each year on the first day of Spring. The day began as a way to increase local and global awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS on American Indian and Alaska Native people. "The HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to affect all of our communities, including American Indians and Alaska Natives. While we are seeing lower rates of new infections within these communities, we must continue to ensure that the culturally and linguistically-competent education, counseling,...

Juan Perales might be part of a solution to a problem plaguing Minnesota school districts — a lack of racial diversity among teachers despite a growing number of students of color. Perales, a 27-year-old information technology technician for Austin Public Schools, plans to enroll in a “grow your own” teacher preparation program set to launch this fall at Sumner Elementary in Austin, a town that has seen an influx of students from Sudan, Mexico and the Karen region of Burma, their families drawn by work at the Hormel plant. Like other rural...
Suburban and outstate Minnesotans whose roads and bridges would benefit the most from Gov. Mark Dayton’s transportation plan are solidly against the gas tax increase he would use to pay for it. A new Star Tribune Minnesota Poll taken March 16-18 shows 52 percent of adults oppose the plan while 45 percent support it, but the opposition is fiercest in the suburbs outside Hennepin and Ramsey counties and in outstate Minnesota, where about 3 out of 5 residents are against the plan. http://www.startribune.com/politics/statelocal/...
LONDON — When Rohini Anand took over diversity programs at multinational catering company Sodexo in 2002, she had one goal: To prove that it pays for a company to have equal numbers of male and female managers. Sodexo, which has 419,000 employees in 80 countries, says she's done just that. A company-wide study last year found that units with equal numbers of men and women in management roles delivered more profits more consistently than those dominated by men. http://www.startribune.com/world/297213231.html...
A snow-sparse winter and recent mild temperatures may give Minnesota farmers a head start on planting this spring, which could improve crop yields at a time when prices remain low. Compared with last year, when the snowpack was much deeper than normal, nearly all of the state’s farmland is completely snow-free — except for what fell on Sunday that will melt quickly — and the dark soil has been thawing during the longer daylight hours. http://www.startribune.com/business/297192881.html...
