Commercial walleye fishing is banned in Minnesota, so nearly all of the state's commercial walleye supply comes from Canada. Rest assured, Minnesota diners, you can still order walleye - blackened, fried or grilled. The Lake Mille Lacs walleye crisis has created a whirl of anxiety for resort owners, anglers and politicians. It has not, and will not, affect area restaurants and grocery stores that sell the fish. The reason: Nearly all of the state's commercial walleye supply comes from Canada. Mi...
Allina Health System wants to deep-six its deep-fat fryers and eliminate sugary soft drinks, too. The hospital operator announced the goals internally Friday, saying Allina wants to change vending machines and cafeterias in ways that will promote and maintain health in communities. “Allina has made the decision to work toward eliminating sugar-sweetened beverages in our facilities and deep-fat fryers in our cafeterias,” wrote Dr. Penny Wheeler, Allina’s chief executive, in a Friday memo to employees. “These are simple environmental changes...
WASHINGTON – Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar said Monday that she supports the Iran nuclear deal — a decision she says she made after spending the past month weighing the consequences and talking to nuclear experts across the country. Klobuchar’s support for the deal came as White House officials continued a relentless effort to urge members of Congress, away on August recess, to commit to voting yes on the deal when they return to Capitol Hill next month. http://www.startribune.com/amid-heavy-white-house-lobbying-sen-amy-klob...
NEW YORK — The company that once offered to sell you eight CDs for 1 cent has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after almost 20 years of falling sales. The parent of the Columbia House music and DVD clubs said Monday it plans to sell its Columbia House DVD Club business, which sells recorded movies and TV series directly to consumers, through a bankruptcy auction. The reasons for the bankruptcy read like a history of the changes that have swept through the entertainment industry and retail over the last two decades. h...
An Alexandria teen who died last month after swimming in Lake Minnewaska was not infected with a deadly lake amoeba after all, according to confirmatory tests by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hunter Boutain died from bacterial meningitis, not from contact with the rare but deadly Naegleria fowleri amoeba, the Minnesota Department of Health reported Monday. http://www.startribune.com/teen-s-death-after-swimming-was-not-caused-by-water-amoeba/321304171/...
The number of wolves in Minnesota was stable for the third year in a row, state wildlife researchers said Monday in their latest survey of the animal’s population. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources estimates that there are 2,221 wolves in the northeast corner of the state; that’s down slightly from the 2,423 counted in the winter of 2013-14, but not a significant difference. Wolf numbers fluctuate with the number of deer, their primary prey, and the severity of the winter, wildlife officials said. If deer numbers are up, then wol...
MUSKOGEE (AP) — Some Cherokee Nation citizens are unhappy with the tribe’s recently signed hunting and fishing compact with the state of Oklahoma and are circulating petitions calling for a vote on the issue. The tribal council passed the compact in May and it was signed by Principal Chief Bill John Baker and Gov. Mary Fallin. Under its terms, the tribe will buy at least 150,000 licenses at $2 apiece for Oklahoma-based tribal citizens 16 or older that allows them to hunt and fish statewide — rather than just on tribal land — and include...
The majority of Native American tribal nations across the country do not recognize same sex marriage. Because of tribal sovereignty, the Supreme Court ruling on marriage equality does not apply. That leaves gay tribal members struggling to balance celebration for LGBTQ members across the states and the sting that comes with knowing they may not be able to marry within their own nation. http://hereandnow.wbur.org/2015/08/10/same-sex-marriage-tribes...
The recent bird deaths at a Syncrude oilsands facility in northern Alberta along with last month's Nexen Energy pipeline spill — one of the biggest in the province's history — show the need for better oversight, a local First Nation says. "In less than one month, we have seen two major events that clearly demonstrate that something is seriously wrong," said Allan Adam, chief of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN), in a news release. "These incidents, and the countless more seen in recent past, are contributing to the degradation of the...
GOSHEN — No one stood up at the Goshen Community Schools board meeting Monday, Aug. 10, when the president asked for public comment. “Going once. Going twice,” Cathie Cripe offered, as many in the room sighed with relief. It was the first time in more than two months that a member of the public did not address the board about the Redskins mascot, a topic that had divided the community and compelled hundreds to speak at meetings or write letters to the board. http://www.elkharttruth.com/news/schools/goshen-high-school/2015/08...
SYRACUSE (AP) - Federal prosecutors say two Canadian men have been convicted of running a marijuana smuggling operation that brought more than 11 tons of pot across New York’s northern border. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Michael Woods and Gaetan Dinelle, both of Cornwall, Ontario, were convicted Wednesday after a six-day trial in federal court in Syracuse. Officials say the men were found guilty of conspiracy charges involving the smuggling of more than 22,000 pounds of marijuana into the U.S. http://www.oneidadispatch.c...
IGNACIO – Southern Ute Indian Tribe elders are mounting a recall effort aimed at the majority of the Tribal Council and its chairman, calling the move a “revolution” to preserve their way of life. Chairman Clement Frost and five council members have been targeted, including Alex Cloud, Amy Barry, James M. Olguin, Mel Baker and Tyson Thompson. The only member spared from the effort is Ramona Eagle, who is serving a temporary term after replacing Howard D. Richards in a special vacancy election in February. Recall organizers must collect 275 v...
When it comes to Native American cuisine, chef Sean Sherman wants you to think beyond fry bread. As the culinary craftsman for Tatanka Truck, Minnesota’s first indigenous food truck, Sherman is taking Dakota, Lakota, and Ojibwe-influenced eats, with a fresh spin, to the streets. Born and raised on Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota, Sherman started cooking around age 13 in steakhouses and tourist restaurants in the Black Hills. After graduating from Black Hills State University, he moved to Minneapolis, became a chef, and immersed h...
The former president of Stone Child College and her husband have been sentenced to five months in prison for federal income tax fraud and were ordered to repay more than $47,000. U.S. District Judge Brian Morris sentenced Melody and Frank Henry on Thursday after they made a deal with prosecutors in April to plead guilty to filing a false return. Prosecutors say the Henrys lied on their 2012 tax returns about having business expenses and losses totaling more than $145,000. http://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/news/local/201...
PETOSKEY — A Petoskey man is facing a host of drug-related charges stemming from an investigation in which he is accused of using the U.S. Postal Service as part of his alleged distribution of the drugs ecstasy and LSD. The charges follow a search warrant that police executed at a home at the corner of Franklin and Bridge streets in Petoskey on April 20. Jonathan Frederick Harrington, 20, of Petoskey turned himself in at the Emmet County Jail on Friday after earlier in the week the Emmet County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office authorized cha...
