Minneapolis police continue to investigate the latest outbreak of violence on the city’s North Side — an allegedly gang-related barrage of gunfire Wednesday evening that left a 20-year-old man dead and seven others injured, two of them fighting for their lives. Detectives on Thursday were working several leads to solve the shooting near Newton and 16th avenues N., which was captured on camera and widely shared online. http://www.startribune.com/hunt-on-for-suspects-in-north-side-gunfire-that-killed-1-wounded-others/378283121...
Threatening parents with a fine might be one way to stop a bully. Several towns in Wisconsin now will fine parents who refuse to keep their children and teens from bullying others — a novel tactic that’s sparking interest from around the globe. Shawano, Wis., a town of 9,300 people about 40 miles northwest of Green Bay, is the latest to pass an ordinance that holds parents of bullies accountable. Parents could be fined $366 for the first offense and $681 for the second offense in a year. http://www.startribune.com/wisconsin-...
The Minnesota Senate on Wednesday unexpectedly shot down a massive, $1.5 billion public works and infrastructure package, splintering a long tradition of bipartisan support for distributing state money to projects intended to boost local economies. Hundreds of Minnesota cities and townships would have benefited from spending in the proposal, which emphasized transportation improvements, public campus buildings and water treatment upgrades. Supporters promised it would have generated tens of thousands of jobs. http://www.star...
Home to the Monticello nuclear power plant, Wright County long has helped keep the lights on in the nearby Twin Cities. Now the exurban county has been swept up in the newest clean-energy movement — solar power — and some are uneasy about how that will alter the landscape, transforming farms and forests into fields of solar panels. Seven solar facility sites have been approved in the past year, and two more are pending in the county of 131,000 on Hennepin County’s northwestern border. http://www.startribune.com/what-price-so...
Shakopee police are recycling money seized during drug arrests to offer as much as $3,000 to addicts for treatment. The south metro department is the first in Minnesota to join a national movement of police guiding residents with drugs or alcohol addiction toward rehabilitation and away from jail cells. The program is designed to promote recovery after drug arrests, frequently for methamphetamine and heroin, which increased 33 percent in Shakopee last year. http://www.startribune.com/seeking-to-cut-drug-arrests-shakopee-poli...
When you ask a working Minnesota mom what she wants for Mother’s Day, don’t be surprised if she says, “A day off.” In Minnesota, moms work harder than almost anywhere in the country. In 8 of 10 Minnesota families, they are sole, primary, or co-breadwinners. That’s the second-highest share of moms in the country who work outside the home. http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-has-second-highest-rate-of-working-mothers-in-the-nation/377808151/...
FORT MCMURRAY, Alberta — Canadian officials will start moving thousands of people from work camps north of devastated Fort McMurray in a mass highway convoy Friday morning if it is safe from a massive wildfire raging in Alberta. Officials airlifted 8,000 people on Thursday and will continue the airlift Friday, while a mass migration of cars will move south in the morning. http://www.startribune.com/alberta-fire-evacuees-moved-a-2nd-time-as-weather-shifts/378244771/...
WASHINGTON — The federal government announced sweeping new rules Thursday for electronic cigarettes that will for the first time require the devices and their ingredients to be reviewed, a mandate that could offer protection for consumers and upend a multibillion dollar industry that has gone largely unregulated. Before brands are allowed to stay in the market, regulators will check the e-cigarettes' design and the liquid nicotine they contain. The fast-growing devices have found a foothold with teenagers. http://www.startri...
Good morning. On behalf of The Sacramento Bee’s editorial board, welcome to The Take, your opinion-politics newsletter. Having caught our breath from the stunning turn of events in Indiana, we cannot take our eyes off the coming crash of the Republican Party. We focus on Trump and Cruz, and Cruz and Trump, with a side of tobacco legislation. We promise to find other topics in days ahead. But today, we dwell. Among the many head-spinning moments of Donald Trump’s campaign, the Trump endorsement shuffle would not rank high. But just last Fri...
TOPEKA, Kan. — Seven children who were taken to perform for occupiers during the armed takeover of an Oregon wildlife refuge earlier this year have been placed in the temporary custody of Kansas child welfare officials. The Kansas City Star reports that a judge made the placement Wednesday after finding probable cause that the children of Odalis Sharp had been abused. Sharp told The Star as she left the hearing that she didn't abuse her children. http://lasvegassun.com/news/2016/may/05/officials-take-custody-of-kids-who-went...
In response to the decline of wild spring Chinook salmon in the Klamath-Trinity Basin and concern about the status of green sturgeon, the Yurok Tribal Council has adopted stringent spring fishing regulations, including a four-day per week closure. “Closing the fishery is never an easy decision for our Council, especially when similar efforts aren’t made by others that harvest these imperiled stocks,” said Thomas P. O’Rourke Sr., Chairman of the Yurok Tribe. “Our people depend on these fish to feed their families. We decided to make this sacr...
Though the Navajo Housing Authority lost another battle in its $96 million dispute with its funding authority, NHA officials are continuing to say that they will ultimately win the war. On Wednesday, officials for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development affirmed the decision made by an administrative law judge with the HUD Office of Hearings last December that allowed HUD to recapture $96 million in funding approved before 2012. http://navajotimes.com/reznews/nha-appeal-hud-decision-withhold-96m/...
WOUNDED KNEE -- A former official on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation has been ordered to pay $15,000 in restitution and be on probation for three years for stealing from a tribal organization. Casey Titus, 27, of Wounded Knee was indicted by a federal grand jury last May and entered a guilty plea last November. She was sentenced last week. http://www.mitchellrepublic.com/news/state/4026140-reservation-official-sentenced-stealing-tribal-funds...
ATHENS TOWNSHIP — When Christine Lanning walks through SAFE Place's foyer, she braces for heartbreak. She hopes during her visits for board meetings that she won't catch sight of any privacy screens, because that means a woman has come to the shelter to flee an abusive relationship — and her children have, too. "I'm really sad to say we've had to use the SAFE Place shelter numerous times," said Lanning, Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi Tribal Council treasurer and a SAFE Place board member. "Whether the perpetrator was Native Ame...
The University of New Mexico will no longer host the popular Gathering of Nations powwow. The costs of hosting the event at a stadium on campus became too great, the university said in a statement. The decision came just four days after the conclusion of the 33rd annual powwow and as the school faces fire for a seal that excludes Native people. “The PowWow has a rich tradition that UNM has shared for more than 30 years,” UNM executive vice president David Harris said in a press release. “We understand that other venues, such as Expo New Mexic...
A local, Métis-run clothing company in Winnipeg is getting ready to make the leap into the American market. The company, Voila, started almost 12 years ago when founder and head designer Andréanne Dandeneau found herself at a crossroads. "I used to be a contemporary dancer and I guess with dancing, it just allowed me to start looking at the fabric part; the movements and textures," she said. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-m%C3%A9tis-clothing-shop-andr%C3%A9anne-dandeneau-chicago-location-store-1.3569419...
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — The Indian Health Service is looking to expand telehealth care across the Great Plains in the wake of federal inspections that uncovered serious quality-of care deficiencies at some of its facilities. The IHS on Thursday issued a request for proposals from providers to offer remote care at its seven hospitals and other facilities in Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota. Patients would receive emergency medical services and could set appointments with specialists in behavioral health, cardiology and other a...
Family and friends of Azraya Kokopenace say the teenager did not get the help she needed to save her life. The 14-year-old from Grassy Narrows First Nation disappeared on April 15 after provincial police dropped her off at the hospital in Kenora, Ont. She was last seen leaving the Lake of the Woods District Hospital at 11:20 that night, according to police. She was found dead two days later in the woods nearby. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/azraya-kokopenace-system-failed-1.3564889...
To get its aging facilities where they need to be, Haskell Indian Nations University needs between $111 million and $123 million, a new report says. Including restoration work needed to reopen the shuttered 1898 Hiawatha Hall would put the price tag on the higher end. Haskell’s National Board of Regents on Thursday saw a report from the university’s first comprehensive facilities study since 1998, and passed resolutions in support of pursuing ways to get the plan implemented. http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2016/may/05/study-pu...
Indigenous communities and groups are scrambling to ensure their people are safe, and taking in evacuees, as tens of thousands flee the massive wildfire raging through the northern Alberta city of Fort McMurray. Chief Jim Boucher said many members of Fort McKay First Nation, which is about 50 kilometres north of Fort McMurray, owned houses or lived in the city. http://www.cbc.ca/news/aboriginal/indigenous-communities-fort-mcmurray-evacuees-1.3566938...
The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, based in Fort Chipewyan, Alta., has declared a state of emergency as it attempts to get its members home as a wildfire continues to blaze in the nearby city of Fort McMurray. Chief Allan Adam says that any displaced members of the First Nation or Fort Chipewyan residents should call the band office as soon as possible at (780) 713-1451 or (780) 697-3730, or e-mail with their location. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/athabasca-chip-fort-mcmurray-fire-1.3566315...
