CROOKSTON, Minn. — A lawsuit filed by a northwest Minnesota man against against the Diocese of Crookston and its Bishop, Michael Hoeppner, saying the diocese covered up abuse and the bishop tried to coerce the victim into silence has reached its fourth judge in a series of recusals and is being contested on grounds some its counts are past the statute of limitations.

A rampant heroin and opiate epidemic on the Red Lake Indian Reservation has prompted tribal leaders to declare a public health emergency, seek outside help in addressing the crisis and consider the extraordinary step of banishing tribal members involved in drug dealing. "The attack by drugs is devastating to the health of our people," Tribal Council Chairman Darrell Seki said Tuesday. "Families are breaking." Overdoses on the northern Minnesota reservation have increased significantly in the...

A fresh legal challenge to the state’s 2014 elimination of teacher job protections has reached the Kansas Supreme Court, close on the heels of a separate lawsuit that proved unsuccessful six months ago. At stake are due process rights for thousands — or even tens of thousands — of teachers who had earned them before the Republican-led Legislature passed and Gov. Sam Brownback signed the repeal. http://hppr.org/post/teachers-union-state-square-second-kansas-supreme-court-showdown-over-tenure...

State lawmakers required a $3.2 million cut this year from the Department of Public Instruction, the state agency that works with North Carolina’s public schools.

If you're involved in high school athletics, you know the scene. There's increasing pressure to specialize in a single sport and play it year-round. The upside? Focusing on one sport can help give kids the edge they need to compete on elite club teams — or travel teams. Many athletes hope to attract the attention of college recruiters, or be offered a sports scholarship. This emphasis on competitive success has become widespread throughout the U.S., according to a consensus statement from the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine. h...
A storm with heavy rain and high winds that moved across the Twin Cities metro area early Wednesday took down trees and power lines in the southeastern suburbs and flooded a freeway in St. Paul. Standing water on eastbound I-94 in a construction zone at Johnson Parkway forced MnDOT to close the local access lanes and divert motorists to the through lanes for about two hours Wednesday morning. All local access lanes reopened about 6:30 a.m., MnDOT said. http://www.startribune.com/storms-leave-behind-downed-trees-flooded-roads...

WASHINGTON — Prodded by President Donald Trump, a bitterly divided Senate voted, at last, Tuesday to move forward with the Republicans' long-promised legislation to repeal and replace "Obamacare." There was high drama as Sen. John McCain returned to the Capitol for the first time after being diagnosed with brain cancer to cast a decisive "yes" vote. The final tally was 51-50, with Vice President Mike Pence, exercising his constitutional prerogative, breaking the tie after two Republicans joined all 48 Democrats in voting "no." h...
Facing changing demographics and a steep dropoff in demand, the state’s oldest hospital will discontinue maternity care this year. HealthEast Care System’s St. Joseph’s Hospital made the move because fewer women are choosing the St. Paul facility for their baby deliveries. Health system leaders announced the decision Tuesday, noting that women will still be admitted for maternity care through Sept. 7 and that babies will still be delivered until Sept. 10 at HealthEast’s flagship hospital — Minnesota’s first hospital when it was founded in...
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department escalated its promised crackdown on so-called sanctuary cities Tuesday, saying it will no longer award coveted grant money to cities unless they give federal immigration authorities access to jails and provide advance notice when someone in the country illegally is about to be released.

Hormel Foods has rolled out a new snack, a meat-cheese-and-sweet item under its Natural Choice meats brand. The Austin, Minn.-based company branched off into snacking — a hot consumer trend — in 2013 with sandwiches and wraps, and followed that up in 2015 with peanut butter snacks under the Skippy label. http://www.startribune.com/hormel-launches-snack-packs-with-meat-cheeses-and-nuts/436589253/...
At first blush, it sounds like the talk of a conspiracy theorist: a company implanting microchips under employees’ skin. But it’s not a conspiracy, and employees are lining up for the opportunity. On Aug. 1, employees at Three Square Market, a technology company in Wisconsin, can choose to have a chip the size of a grain of rice injected between their thumb and index finger. Once that is done, any task involving radio-frequency identification technology — swiping into the office building, paying for food in the cafeteria — can be accompl...

It could be a couple of weeks before the courts decide if Ho-Chunk Nation President Wilfrid Cleveland was convicted of a felony in 1972, putting his political career in the hands of a judge. On May 2, Gary Funmaker filed a lawsuit against Cleveland and the Wisconsin Department of Justice to get a declaratory judgement on whether Cleveland was convicted of a felony or misdemeanor in 1972. http://lacrossetribune.com/lawsuit-filed-in-jackson-county-to-determine-whether-ho-chunk/article_bcc25a89-02f7-541b-9a31-452de4ae61e5.html...
