BEMIDJI -- A Backus man was killed after being hit by a tire that came off a dump truck while he was believed to be retrieving his mail the morning of June 17. Charles Linn, 74, was transported to a St. Cloud hospital, where he died, the Cass County Sheriff's Office said in a release. Linn was struck at the end of his driveway by a tire and rim that came off a wheel of the tandem-axle dump truck while it was travelling on Eighth Street Southwest near Backus, authorities said. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/local/3772358-...

BEMIDJI -- They don’t belong here, and getting rid of them is impossible. The threat of zebra mussels in Beltrami County, which led authorities late last summer to mark a number of lakes and rivers as infested with the invasive species, doesn’t appear likely to fade. Especially not, county officials say, with contaminated boats, docks and trailers continuing to slip in and out of the water. “Once zebra mussels are in a water body, they’re there,” Bruce Anspach, aquatic invasive species lake technician for Beltrami County Environme...
The Dakota County Sheriff’s Office is poised to revive the practice of collecting DNA samples from people who have been arrested and charged with violent crimes, but not yet convicted — a procedure that the Minnesota Court of Appeals previously ruled unconstitutional. Sheriff Tim Leslie announced the plan Tuesday, saying he expects to begin the DNA collection within the next couple weeks. In explaining the move, Dakota County officials said a 2013 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that permits such DNA collection overrides the Minnesota court’s 2006...

Hennepin County’s struggling child protection agency got a boost Tuesday as the County Board gave preliminary approval to add nearly 100 new employees, but commissioners cautioned it was the first of many needed reforms. “If this passes as it is, it should be considered a failure of this board to act,” said Commissioner Mike Opat. “There needs to be a lot more here.” http://www.startribune.com/hennepin-county-to-add-100-workers-to-child-protection/309371351/...
3M Co. on Tuesday announced its largest acquisition — the $2.5 billion purchase of Bloomington-based Capital Safety, a maker of rugged harnesses and other safety equipment for workers in the construction, drilling and mining industries. The deal is nearly twice the size of the previous record acquisition for 3M, the Maplewood-based conglomerate best known for Scotch tape, Post-it notes, sandpaper and health equipment. http://www.startribune.com/3m-buys-minnesota-based-capital-safety-for-2-5-billion/309291241/...
For many Minnesota anglers, the walleyes they seek today began years earlier in jars of fertilized walleye eggs at 11 state fish hatcheries. This spring, the Department of Natural Resources collected 582 million walleye eggs that produced about 411 million mosquito-size walleye fry. Nearly 300 million were dumped into 272 lakes; the rest went into DNR rearing ponds, where they will grow to 4- to 6-inch fingerlings before they are stocked into other lakes this fall. “Everyone says the bigger the fish the better it will survive, but we stock f...

Last week leaders of the Flandreau Santee Sioux tribe moved to legalize marijuana on the reservation.

If a doctor has prescribed medical marijuana, anyone can use the drug. Reider said the Flandreau Santee Sioux...
