RED LAKE -- "Grandma Doris" was remembered by family and loved ones as a prolific educator, generous giver, "Mom" -- even from those with no blood relation -- a stellar cook and the "First Lady of Red Lake Nation." Doris Dale "Waakowazh" Seki, 66, died last week on July 8. According to those who knew her best, she lived a life full of traveling adventures, family time, cooking and good music. Those offering condolences after her passing described her as hardworking, kind and generous. Doris was...
Boaters are hitting rocks in the Mississippi River. Livestock farmers are seeking emergency waivers to graze cattle on conservation land. Homeowners cringing at toasted lawns are bracing for watering restrictions - if they aren't already in place. Meanwhile, more of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness has closed down as wildfires burning in Quetico Provincial Park across the border in Canada threaten to spread. With about half of Minnesota now in the grip of severe drought - and 4% in...
Minnesota's top Democratic officials are calling for the resignation of state Rep. John Thompson amid reports of past domestic violence allegations, the latest in a string of controversies surrounding the first-term lawmaker. The four domestic assault cases spanned 2003-10 and included allegations that Thompson punched and choked women, sometimes in the presence of children. Fox 9 first reported the allegations Friday night. The allegations tipped the scales against Thompson for many Democrats,...
Driver behavior in Minnesota has become so bad that Mike Hanson said he is running out of adjectives to describe it. "Horrific. Tragic. Sad," said Hanson, director of the Department of Public Safety's Office of Traffic Safety. The recent fatal shooting of youth baseball coach Jay Boughton as he drove on a west metro highway was all of those things, and it should be unnerving for any motorist, he said. Police said the shooting may have stemmed from a "traffic altercation." That's frightening for...
Marlo Spaeth started working as a sales associate at a Walmart in Manitowoc, Wis., in 1999, folding towels, cleaning aisles, processing returns and greeting customers, her lawyers said. Over the next 15 years, she received several pay raises and positive performance reviews. But Spaeth's hours suddenly shifted in November 2014, when Walmart instituted a computerized scheduling system, which the company said was based on customer traffic and was designed to ensure that enough people were working...
Pre-pandemic the stock market was on a record bull market run that increased the value of long-term equity awards. That bull run ended with government mandated shutdowns but by August the market was once again hitting record highs restoring the short decline in the long-term equity awards that drives CEO compensation. The Star Tribune counts options and stock awards toward total compensation when executives realize those equity awards and not in the year they are granted. The 50 CEOs on this year's list realized a combined $647.2 million, a...
Maria Van Kerkhove, a World Health Organization epidemiologist, was in her Geneva office last weekend preparing for a keynote address when a simple phrase came to mind. She had been pondering the dismaying rise in coronavirus infections globally during the previous three weeks, reversing promising trends of late spring. The surge came as people across much of the Northern Hemisphere were moving around again in a suddenly freewheeling summer - as if the pandemic were over. She wrote in her...
Two dozen Minnesota tribal leaders gathered in Hinckley recently for an unprecedented and grievous task. They were there to discuss horrific discoveries of mass, unmarked graves at Indian boarding schools in Canada — and to contemplate the very real possibility that similar discoveries await us here in Minnesota. Minnesota once had 16 such institutions, including a number of contract schools operated by religious groups, similar to the practice in Canada. They were created, in a phrase common at the time, to "kill the Indian and save the m...
ST. PAUL, Minn.-The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) suspended some water appropriation permits in some parts of the state due to an extreme drought, according to the DNR. Some permits affected by the decision include Enbridge's Line 3 construction project. Dust control water sources and hydrostatic testing and horizontal directional drilling water sources have been suspended on the Shell River, and others. "The DNR has temporarily suspended surface water appropriations for some...
Comparing the histories of Indian residential schools in Canada with Indian boarding schools in the U.S. is almost like comparing apples with oranges. A true comparison is nearly impossible since so little data on the schools and children in the U.S. are available. Unlike Canada, where the 2008 Indian Settlement Act and creation of the Truth and Reconciliation Act helped unlock and organize government and church records, there is no definitive information on the number of Indian boarding schools or children who attended in the U.S. But with...
On Tuesday, July 13th, 2021 a dangerous and rapidly expanding wildfire was reported in Eckles Township northwest of Bemidji. Initial information indicated the fire had already spread to the trees and was moving towards residential areas. Upon arrival of law enforcement and initial fire crews, immediate measures were taken to control the fire and protect life and property. As the fire spread, a decision was made to alert residents in the immediate area of the fire and the potential need for evacuation. A short time later a precautionary...

July 16, 2021 -- Indigenous environmental protectors opposing the expansion of Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline, Tara Houska and Winona LaDuke, represented by the Center for Protest Law and Litigation, a project of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, and EarthRights International, today filed for a restraining order against Hubbard County, Sheriff Cory Aukes and the local land commissioner in northern Minnesota. The Hubbard County Sheriff has unlawfully blockaded access to a camp serving as a...

Coming soon: Summer benefits to support healthy nutrition for about 385,000 Minnesota children while school meal programs are on break. Their families will receive over $170 million through a summer program recently approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This year’s Summer Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer program supports food purchases for June through August, when school-age children who rely on free and reduced-price school meals may lack access to healthy foods. Summer P-EBT benefits will also go to children ages 5 and y...
