RED LAKE -- The Red Lake Tribal Council voted Tuesday to remove Enbridge-owned oil pipelines from its land. The unanimous vote came two months after the council agreed to rescind a resolution accepting a land swap agreement with the Canadian energy company. That Jan. 9 vote paved the way for Tuesday’s action, according to Red Lake Representative Robert Smith. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/government-and-politics/4417789-red-lake-votes-remove-pipelines...

Washington Mathematics Science Technology Public Charter High School — founded in 1998 soon after charter schools were allowed in the District — could lose its license if it does not present a convincing plan to regulators demonstrating how it will remain financially viable. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/one-of-the-ci...
BEMIDJI -- Before Tantoo Cardinal left her childhood home near Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada, to attend high school, she spent her time taking in the nature around her. “I could walk in the bush behind my grandmother and know that there's a whole world out there that's connected to sound and the wind and energy,” Cardinal said Tuesday in an interview with the Pioneer. “That's where I learned how to act, is from walking behind my grandmother.” http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/4417146-different-world-actress-environmental...

On an evening last June, Alaska Airlines co-pilot Betty Pina had a glass of wine. Then came a second glass, brought to her by the captain she was paired with for a three-day assignment.
