  • 'Red Lake' documentary focuses on recovery

    Jun 27, 2016

    BEMIDJI—Many people who meet Missy Dodds want to hear about one thing: what happened to her on March 21, 2005.

In all, 10 people died in the shootings, including five students and the shooter. When Dodds met documentary filmmaker Billy Luther, however, she knew he was different. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/4062287-red-lake-documentary-focuses-recovery...

  • Clinton nabs double-digit lead over Trump in poll

    Jun 27, 2016

    Support for Donald Trump has plunged as he has alienated fellow Republicans and large majorities of voters overall in the course of a month of self-inflicted controversies, propelling Democrat Hillary Clinton to a double-digit lead nationally in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. The survey finds sweeping unease with the presumptive Republican nominee’s candidacy — from his incendiary rhetoric and values to his handling of both terrorism and his own business — foreshadowing that the November election could be a referendum on Trump more than...

  • Citizenship applications up amid anti-immigrant rhetoric

    Jun 27, 2016

    Jubilation filled a Minneapolis courtroom earlier this week as about 50 people transformed from residents to U.S. citizens, clutching certificates and miniature American flags. They’ve got plenty of company. Nationally, the number of naturalization applications shot up by 13 percent in the first few months of this year, compared to the same period in 2015. In the Minnesota field office, where data includes North Dakota, South Dakota and western Wisconsin, applications have surged by 12 percent in that period. http://www.star...

  • 'Snitch' factor frustrates police in crime-hit Mpls. neighborhoods

    Jun 27, 2016

    On the streets of north Minneapolis, word travels fast. So when the lawyer for a member of the Taliban street gang let it slip that another gang member was cooperating with police and the FBI, former friends soon started calling him by a different name online: “Snitch.” A surreptitious recording of the exchange was later posted on Facebook, where people encouraged others to “like and share” the post. One user said someone needed to snipe the snitch, and he was on his way to the shooting range for target practice. “He got the secrets [sic] ser...

    Jun 27, 2016

  • Catch rate keeps improving for Red Lake walleye

    Jun 27, 2016

    KELLIHER, MINN. — The busy boat ramp at Rogers Resort & Campground came to a standstill when powder blue skies over Upper Red Lake blackened with an approaching thunderstorm. As the downpour arrived a little more than a week ago, a random group of anglers took cover in the resort’s Center Bar. Soon, they were cautiously trading secrets for catching walleyes. “Fish in front of the flagpole a mile north of the resort.” “Stay in 6 feet of water.” “Troll with gold-colored spinners.” http://www.startribune.com/at-red-lake-revivin...

  • Scuttled trout project launches man on crusade

    Jun 27, 2016

    David Holmbeck contacted me this spring with an urgent request. He wanted me to investigate a trout stream restoration project north of Chisholm, Minn., that was undertaken by his former employer, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. He accused officials involved with the project of trespassing on private land, messing up the Dark River and cutting down someone else's trees. Holmbeck's plea sounded like many that arrive in my inbox: someone wanting a journalist to help them redress an ancient grievance. All of this happened in 2007...

  • Young people get a fighting chance at Minneapolis boxing gym the Circle of Discipline

    Jun 27, 2016

    He knows the moment he fell in love with the sport. He was tiny, just like the little ones — age 5, age 6 — who constantly skip around the sweat-stained blue floor of the Minneapolis garage-turned-gym known as the Circle of Discipline. Back then, Jamal James wasn’t yet a 19-0 professional welterweight. He didn’t have the nickname “Shango,” for the African god of thunder. He wasn’t managed by one of boxing’s premier managers, Al Haymon — the same guy who works with Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. http://www.startribune.com/young...
