The recent increase in COVID-19 infections means more patients in Minnesota's hospitals because of coronavirus complications. For five of the past six days, the number of COVID-19 patients has topped 100, with 116 getting care on Tuesday. It is another sign, along with accelerating new case counts and a rising test positivity rate, that COVID-19 is spreading more widely again in the state. https://www.startribune.com/rising-virus-cases-in-minnesota-fuel-an-uptick-in-hospitali...
TOKYO - Thomas Gilman wanted nothing more than to go to Japan this summer, to wrestle for the U.S. team at the Tokyo Olympics. He was much less certain about whether Japan wanted him to come. The Iowa native had read countless reports describing the country as a reluctant host for the pandemic-delayed Summer Games. Public opinion polls showed a majority of citizens favoring another postponement, or even cancellation. Anti-Olympics activists had staged small demonstrations and circulated...
The Eden Prairie Police Department has added an outfitted Tesla to its fleet, likely becoming the first in the state to do so. The fully electric 2021 Model Y first hit west metro roads on patrol this week. Though the $52,290 sticker price is more than double the standard Dodge Charger, officials say the Tesla's estimated total life cycle is more cost effective and aligns with the city's sustainability goals. "It sure seems to be turning a lot of heads," said Chief Matthew Sackett....
The Twins knew what they were getting when Nelson Cruz agreed to sign with them before the 2019 season. A savvy power hitter and a veteran influence in the clubhouse. A well-traveled sage. Someone to push the club to the next level. Two-and-a-half years later, Cruz is leaving for Tampa Bay, unable to lead the Twins on a postseason run. But make no mistake, he was the fulcrum of the Twins offense. And all that veteran leadership stuff the Twins sought in addition to home runs? Cruz went next...
Twins President Derek Falvey is used to having difficult conversations in his job, but the chat he had with Nelson Cruz and manager Rocco Baldelli before Thursday's game was one that "will always stick with me." That's because Falvey informed Cruz, the 41-year-old beloved slugger and one of the best free-agent signings in Twins history, that he had been traded. The Twins sent Cruz, along with Class AA righthander Calvin Faucher, to Tampa Bay for Class AAA righthanded starters Joe Ryan and Drew...
All Minnesota public schools can choose to offer an online learning option this fall - but they won't be required to do so, as they were earlier in the pandemic. The Minnesota Department of Education made that announcement this month, loosening the requirements for districts and charters that wanted to keep distance learning even as most students return to classrooms. Instead of having to get the state's full approval as a permanent online learning provider, districts can provide online classes...
WASHINGTON - The Biden administration announced new sanctions Thursday against a Cuban official and a government special brigade that it says was involved in human rights abuses during a government crackdown on protests on the island earlier this month. The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control listed Alvaro Lopez Miera, a Cuban military and political leader, and the Brigada Especial Nacional del Ministerio del Interior, or Interior Ministry Special Brigade, as among those who...
WASHINGTON - Unfazed by Republican threats of a boycott, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared Thursday that a congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection will take on its "deadly serious" work whether Republicans participate or not. The Republicans' House leader, Kevin McCarthy, called the committee a "sham process" and suggested that GOP lawmakers who take part could face consequences. McCarthy said Pelosi's rejection of two of the Republicans he had attempted to...
Millions of people will flock to Montana’s Glacier National Park this summer after last year’s pandemic-caused tourism skid, and they will once more be able sightsee and camp nearby on the recently reopened Blackfeet Indian Reservation. The tourists’ return is a relief to the owners of the restaurants, campgrounds and hotels forced to shut down last summer when Blackfeet tribal leaders closed the roads leading to the eastern side of the popular park. Those closures fed worries that a major economic driver for residents on the reservation would...
WASHINGTON - The Department of the Interior announced on July 15 that it will begin consultations with tribal and Native Hawaiian community leaders about an overhaul of regulations that implement the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The draft regulations will reshape the processes by which federal agencies and museums return Native American human remains and cultural objects to descendents and Native communities. "The repatriation of human remains and sacred...

Athlete Jillian Weir will be representing more than the Canadian people in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. She’s also representing the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte from the Tyendinaga Territory. Weir, 28, is apparently the only Indigenous athlete on Team Canada and may be the only one in North America set to compete in the upcoming Olympic Games, which start Friday, July 23, and continue through Aug. 8. It is her first trip to the Olympics. “I believe my Indigenous background has instilled strength and courage in me to keep putting my best foot for...
Bemidji, Minn. – In 2017, Bemidji State University’s Dr. Misty Wilkie realized a lifelong dream to support fellow and future nurses. Combining a $2 million, four-year grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s Nursing Workforce Diversity program and her experiences as an Indigenous woman, student nurse and professor, she created the Niganawenimaanaanig Indigenous Nursing Program at Bemidji State. Now, after a competitive application process, the program has been awarded another $2.2 million NWD grant to continue its work...
President Biden said Wednesday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would likely issue guidance encouraging children who have not been vaccinated against the coronavirus to wear masks in schools. “The CDC is going to say that what we should do is, everyone under the age of 12 should probably be wearing a mask in school,” Biden said at a CNN town hall in Cincinnati on Wednesday evening. “That’s probably what’s going to happen. Secondly, those over the age of 12 who are able to get vaccinated — if you’re vaccinated, y...
