A Minneapolis couple and their three young children were killed in a collision in Nebraska on their way to a final round of training before moving to Japan to work as Christian missionaries. Jamison and Kathryne Pals, both 29, died along with their children when a semitrailer truck truck rear-ended their minivan just before noon Sunday on Interstate 80 in a construction zone near Brule. Three-year-old Ezra, 23-month-old Violet and 2-month-old Calvin died at the scene with their parents. The force of the impact pushed the family’s van into t...
As the loved ones of armed forces members killed in combat, Gold Star families always have enjoyed a wide latitude to express their grief — and their opinions — without fear of rebuke. But furor over Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s remarks to a Gold Star family suddenly has altered the security of that landscape. Some Minnesota Gold Star families say they are angry, uneasy and frustrated as they are thrust into an uncomfortable position of taking sides. It has also brought up the pain — never far beneath the surface to begin w...
When St. Paul police last week attempted to clear Summit Avenue of the encampment dedicated to protesting the death of Philando Castile, a black man shot and killed by a St. Anthony police officer, a nearly daylong standoff culminated with 70 arrests. Of those taken into custody, 50 were white. Two weeks before, 41 demonstrators were arrested for blockading Interstate 35W during morning rush hour to decry the shooting. None of the protesters was black — and none of them was talking. http://www.startribune.com/for-black-leade...
Jim Northrup, an Ojibwe storyteller whose books, plays and poems were widely published and produced, died of complications of cancer Monday night. He was 73. Northrup embraced his Anishinaabe language and heritage and helped non-Indians understand it through his plays, including a one-man show, “Rez Road 2000,” produced in 2000 at the Great American History Theatre in St. Paul, and his books, including “Walking the Rez Road,” “Rez Road Follies,” “Anishinaabe Syndicated: A View from the Rez,” “Dirty Copper” and “Rez Salute: the Real Heal...
The bat came swooping out of the darkness into researchers' nets just before 1 a.m. — a small brown female with a secret. As the scientists untangled its tiny limbs from the fine webbing, they didn't notice anything unusual. Not until they got back to the processing station did the puzzle emerge. The bat's size was all wrong: Too small for a big brown bat, too heavy for a little brown bat. Measuring its slim forearm and sneaking a look at its teeth, the researchers realized they had netted a big discovery in bat ecology. htt...
Wildfires are burning in seven Western U.S. states, from California's famed Big Sur region to tribal towns and hamlets near Reno, Nevada. More than a dozen homes were destroyed in Montana, and evacuations were ordered in Nevada, Oregon and Wyoming. Firefighters were trying to stop a Washington blaze from reaching a thickly forested security zone at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Here's a look at some of the fires: CALIFORNIA Higher humidity and lower temperatures on Monday helped firefighters battle a destructive wildfire that has scorched...
The Zika virus has for the first time prompted public health officials to warn pregnant women to avoid traveling to a part of the continental United States. The travel advisory comes in response to a growing outbreak of the mosquito-borne disease in South Florida. The state on Monday said there are 10 more people who’ve been infected with the Zika virus who likely contracted it from local mosquitoes, bringing the total number of such cases in the state to 14. All of the cases have surfaced in a densely populated community north of downtown M...
Money is pouring into some of the state’s most competitive legislative races as DFLers and Republicans battle for control of the Legislature. Without a race for governor or other statewide offices on the ballot this year, more money and attention is being focused on battleground legislative districts. Consider state Rep. Jim Knoblach’s race. After facing the most expensive legislative race in state history in 2014, the St. Cloud Republican anticipates he’ll need just as much or more money this election season. http://www.sta...
WASHINGTON — In a remarkable and lengthy rebuke of his party’s nominee, Sen. John McCain sharply criticized Donald Trump’s comments about the family of a fallen Muslim Army captain, saying, “While our party has bestowed upon him the nomination, it is not accompanied by unfettered license to defame those who are the best among us.” McCain, a war hero whose service and capture in Vietnam was also once derided by Trump, had stayed largely silent over the weekend as Trump’s feud with the parents of Capt. Humayun Khan brewed, waiting until Monda...
The Nooksack Tribe of Washington is refusing to abide by court orders in a closely-watched disenrollment case. The tribe fired the judge who was handling the case, which stems from the removal of a group known as The Nooksack 306. The tribe also barred the group's attorneys from practicing law on the reservation. Despite the setbacks, The Nooksack 306 has tried to move forward with the lawsuit. The Nooksack Tribal Court of Appeals has since held the tribal court clerk in contempt for refusing to accept filings by the group and is threatening...

A federal judge on Monday barred North Dakota from enforcing the state’s strict voter identification-card law, adding to several recent federal court rulings that such laws may disenfranchise minority voters. Judge Daniel L. Hovland of the United States District Court for North Dakota issued a preliminary injunction against the law, which he said had made it difficult and sometimes impossible for some Native Americans on rural reservations to cast ballots. Judge Hovland’s injunction did not strike down the law. But North Dakota’s secre...
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – New York state's new top trooper planned and carried out the agency's quelling of a Native American protest on Interstate 81 in 1997. Nineteen years later, the state has agreed to pay $2.7 million to 76 of the protesters to settle their federal civil rights lawsuit over the way troopers handled them. George Beach was a captain at the state police barracks in North Syracuse on May 18, 1997. http://www.newyorkupstate.com/news/2016/08/new_head_of_state_police_led_response_to_1997_indian_protest_that_ended_in_27...
A weekslong ordeal has taken another turn for the family of a Silverado Canyon man who went missing in June. Leonard Duguay’s car was found Sunday afternoon at the Los Coyotes Indian Reservation in San Diego County, but the 83-year-old man remains missing. “Still at this time we do not suspect any foul play,” Lt. Mark Stichter of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said. “San Diego County sheriff’s are conducting a search of the area.” http://www.ocregister.com/articles/duguay-724270-county-san.html...
