  • Red Lake Nation, Enbridge reach $18.5 million agreement, land swap

    Kyle Farris, Bemidji Pioneer|Jan 4, 2016

    LEONARD, Minn.-Tall clumps of yellow grass poke out of the snow, and it's hard to tell whether the white blanket covers a swamp or prairie. The mobile home that sits in this clearing looks forgotten, and the most notable thing about this place-about 30 miles northwest of Bemidji and next to nothing in particular-is underground. Enbridge Inc. is willing to pay the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians $18.5 million for the land, which is about $18.4 million more than anyone would guess. The energy co...

    Jan 4, 2016

It was year bookended by the community coming together in the early months of 2015 to celebrate hockey success at the high school and college levels to the community coming together in the closing months to search for -- and ultimately mourn the death of -- a mother of five children. And in between, there was plenty more news to fill the pages of the Pioneer and keep readers clicking at www.bemidjipioneer.com. http://www.bemidjipioneer.co...

  • Arrest made, vehicle recovered in fatal hit-and-run in north Minneapolis

  • Vikings beat Packers 20-13 to win NFC North

    Jan 4, 2016

    GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Vikings’ push to be kings of the NFC North for the first time since 2009 finally got rewarded Sunday night as they survived a furious fourth-quarter rally by the Green Bay Packers to win 20-13 and claim the division title. The Vikings relied on stingy defense to take a 17-point lead into the final quarter, but that group barely had enough left to hold off two-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers and the Packers at Lambeau Field. Rodgers heaved two long-­distance throws into the end zone at the end of the game, but one flew beyo...

  • Share of women in Minnesota Senate could fall below 30 percent

    Jan 4, 2016

    With four women state senators saying they won’t seek re-election in 2016, the share of female legislators in the Minnesota Senate could fall below 30 percent and reverse recent gains in gender parity. Assuming the outgoing senators aren’t replaced by other women, that drop would leave just 19 women in the 67-member Senate and would be most keenly felt among DFLers. Of the 15 DFL women senators, three say they will step down after finishing their terms later this year. http://www.startribune.com/share-of-women-state-senators...

  • Whitewater River fish kill: State agencies feign helplessness

    Jan 4, 2016

    Just before Christmas, Minnesota state agencies issued an alarming report about an agricultural watershed in trouble. But instead of analysis and recommendations to protect the watershed, the agencies took a reticent approach (“Major fish kill to remain a mystery,” Dec. 23). The 367-page report of the fish kill investigation in the South Branch of the Whitewater River has a familiar theme: Move along, nothing to see here. The unified response from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, the Department of Natural Resources and the Min...

  • Worker salaries are poised to climb this year

    Jan 4, 2016

    WASHINGTON – American workers are poised in 2016 to finally get what they've been missing for years: higher salaries. Even as the recovery from the Great Recession brought booming corporate profits, most workers' salaries have barely kept up with inflation. But now, as the nation edges ever closer to full employment and with layoffs near historical lows, there are growing indications that ordinary workers are finally starting to reap some of the gains of the 6-year-old recovery. http://www.startribune.com/worker-salaries-are...

  • Long-simmering meat-label debate ends

    Jan 4, 2016

    WASHINGTON – It’s now harder to find out where your beef or pork was born, raised and slaughtered. After more than a decade of wrangling, Congress repealed a labeling law last month that required retailers to include the animal’s country of origin on packages of red meat. It’s a major victory for the meat industry, which had fought the law in Congress and the courts since the early 2000s. Minnesota-based Cargill and Hormel opposed the labels. http://www.startribune.com/long-simmering-meat-label-debate-ends/364083631/...
