    Jun 9, 2016

    In the Great Basin, on the eastern slope of the Sierras, lies the small town of Schurz, Nevada, which is surrounded by the Walker River Paiute Tribe Indian Reservation. As the reservation's name implies, the Walker River meanders through the area, making its way through Schurz, and eventually spills into its terminus Walker Lake at the southern tip of the reservation. At high flows, the river chooses its own course as it meanders through the soils. Picture an inner tube ride at your local water...

    Jun 9, 2016

  • St. Paul police crack down on drivers who don't stop for pedestrians

    Jun 9, 2016

    On Wednesday, a day after a St. Paul pedestrian was killed by a minivan as she crossed the street, St. Paul police were out in force again trying to get motorists to slow down, pay attention and yield to people in crosswalks. That same afternoon, a different woman was struck by a car and injured crossing a different St. Paul street. So far, motorists don’t seem to be getting the message.
