A St. Paul police sergeant apologized Wednesday for a Facebook post urging drivers to run over Black Lives Matter marchers. “I am extremely sorry for posting what I did, I understand that the post was insensitive and wrong. My poor choice of words conveyed a message I did not intend and am not proud of,” Sgt. Jeff Rothecker wrote in a statement, which was sent out by a St. Paul Police Federation spokesman. The sergeant was put on paid administrative leave after police watchdog Andrew Henderson told the police department about a Facebook com...
Samantha and Gianna Rucki have moved back into their Lakeville home, readjusting to family life after the teenage sisters went missing for two and a half years, their father said in an interview this week. There are moments when David Rucki said he sits back and smiles. When he sees his daughters sitting on the couch playing together. When his daughters call him Dad. “It’s emotional,” he said. “I didn’t ever think I’d get to hear that again.” http://www.startribune.com/lakeville-teens-back-home-with-father/365997551/...
Target is going to great new lengths to understand its customers — to the point where corporate leaders are going into people’s homes, opening up closet doors and poking around cupboards. CEO Brian Cornell was going to Chicago Wednesday night for another home visit, hoping to understand such things as consumers’ food choices, fashion trends and shopping habits. So far, he and about a dozen key officers have met with Hispanic moms and single millennials in various cities to do some “fundamental ethnography work,” an approach new to the retai...
NEW YORK — Wal-Mart is giving raises to the vast majority of its U.S. employees as part of the world's largest retailer's previously announced investment in its workforce. The move comes as it seeks to hold onto workers in an increasingly competitive market. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on Wednesday said more than 1.2 million U.S. hourly workers will get wage increases on Feb. 20. The company, the largest U.S. private employer with 1.4 million total workers, also said it will provide free, basic short-term disability to full-time hourly workers. And i...
WASECA, MINN. – John LaDue, the teen arrested nearly two years ago for plotting a massacre at his school, could go home as soon as next week if authorities can’t find a spot for him at a state-operated treatment evaluation facility. While his return home probably would last only until a facility bed opens, a judge said Wednesday that authorities can’t incarcerate the 19-year-old beyond Jan. 28. On that date, LaDue will have served his entire felony sentence for possessing an explosive device and ca...
Air pollution around much of the state will be at unhealthy levels for some people between midnight Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, according to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). It issued a yellow air alert for fine-particle pollution, which increases the risk for heart attacks, strokes and lung-related diseases for the elderly, children and others with health issues. It could be more severe in some parts of the state. The problem is the result of a combination of low clouds, fog and light southeasterly to easterly winds, said...
The man was distraught, in tears and standing on the wrong side of the long bridge above the Mississippi River. Five St. Paul police officers spent two hours trying to calm the suicidal man's nerves on a cold December day in 2014. Eventually, he said a prayer, turned to the officers, thanked them, said goodbye and leapt off the High Bridge — but just as instantaneously, the officers' arms shot out and grabbed onto whatever they could reach. "To be in that position with these men here, it was automatic," said Sgt. Don Benner. "You just do w...
DETROIT — Faced with another massive sick-out by teachers, the Detroit school district filed a lawsuit Wednesday to try to stop absences that have kept thousands of students at home and left parents scrambling for child care and other quick remedies. The latest sick-out shuttered more than 85 of the struggling district's roughly 100 schools and was timed to coincide with a visit to the city by President Barack Obama. Temperatures in the teens appeared to have kept most students indoors, and all Wednesday's protest — and one last week — did f...

It's January, and you know what that means: The Minnesota Book Awards gala event is getting close, with a steady stream of announcements and auxiliary awards leading up to it.

(watch this space!). Ditto the finalists for the Minnesota Book Awards, which will be announced Jan. 30. The winner of the Hognander...
GREEN BAY — The federal government has asked for a lawsuit filed against it by the Menominee Indian Tribe to be dismissed. In October, federal authorities raided the tribe's industrial hemp growing operation, confiscating 30,000 plants. A few weeks later, the tribe filed suit in federal court against the Dept. of Justice and Drug Enforcement Agency, claiming it has permission under the 2014 Farm Bill to grow the plants. http://fox11online.com/news/local/northwoods/feds-respond-to-tribes-suit-on-hemp-operation...

Members of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) have elected the tribe's Business Council, reinstating incumbent Charlie Vig as chairman and incumbent Keith B. Anderson as vice chairman, and electing newcomer Freedom Brewer as secretary/treasurer. The election was on Tuesday (Jan. 19) for the three-person council, which is responsible for the operations of the tribal government. Vig became chairman in August 2012 after the passing of then-Chairman Stanley Crooks. Vig also served for 14 years on the SMSC Gaming Enterprise Board of...
Supreme Court justices questioned lawyers Wednesday about whether tribal sovereignty over Indian reservations applies to non-Indian settlements in a case that could affect the territorial boundaries of Indian reservations and tribes' rights to jurisdiction over that land. Nebraska v. Parker involves an 1882 Act of Congress that authorized the sale of a small portion of the Omaha Tribe's land in Nebraska to non-Indian settlers. The village of Pender is the only settlement on that land. After the Omaha Tribe imposed an alcohol tax on its...
WHITE EARTH, Minn. (KFGO-AM) - Former White Earth Tribal Chairwoman Erma Vizenor vows that she'll be back. Vizenor has confirmed to KFGO News that she resigned effective immediately. Vizenor says she had no choice but to step down because the council no longer supported her efforts to reform the tribe's constitution. “We’ve got three new council people who are remnants of the (Chip) Wadena regime,” Vizenor said. “What can I do when they tie up my hands? I’m sorry. Let them (the three new Council members) crash and burn. I have no choice bu...
First Nations in northern Ontario are calling for emergency relief after several young people, including a 10-year-old girl, died by suicide in recent weeks. The Northwest Local Health Integration Network report from 2010 showed the suicide rate for some First Nations in the area is 50 times the Canadian average for children under 15 years old. A meeting of chiefs from the 49 First Nations that make up the Nishnawbe Aski Nation began this week in Thunder Bay, Ont., with prayers for the families of five youth who have died by suicide since...
Native American women are being murdered and vanishing in the US Midwest, and activists have complained that local police don't much care. They fear that the women are disappearing and being pushed into sex-trafficking rings to satisfy oil workers in North Dakota. Three Native American women have been killed and two more have disappeared from northern Minnesota since May 2015 in a period of around six months in the sparsely populated region. A third woman was kidnapped but managed to escape. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/activist...
“2015 was an important year in the history of the Band,” Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Chief Executive Melanie Benjamin said. “It was a year of real progress.” Benjamin delivered the 32nd State of the Band address on Tuesday, Jan. 12, to a full house standing room only crowd at the banquet room at the Grand Casino. Benjamin’s speech focused on the theme of justice for Anishinabe people. She called for economic, social and environmental justice. With more than 1,000 Band members in attendance, Benjamin highlighted the successes the Band had achieve...
A state agency must try again to determine whether a child at the center of a parental-rights dispute is a Native American, an appellate court ruled Tuesday. The decision marks the second victory in the past year for the girl’s mother, who lost parental rights due to drug and mental health problems in January 2014. The mother, identified only as K.T.D., contends a Camden County judge lacked authority to rule in her case because her daughter is a Cherokee. An appellate ruling in February 2015 said the state Division of Child Protection and P...
The Department of Justice announced Tuesday, Jan. 12, it has granted a request by the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe for the United States to assume concurrent criminal jurisdiction on the Band’s reservation lands, according to Deputy Attorney General Sally Quillian Yates. Mille Lacs Band Chief Executive Melanie Benjamin said the federal firepower will give a huge kick in the war against drugs and major crimes on the reservation and beyond. “This is a good thing for us – for the entire community and the entire state,” Benjamin said. http://ww...
