Not for nothing are they called invasive. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) confirmed expanded findings of two invasive species Wednesday, the starry stonewort and zebra mussels. Stonewort, first reported in Stearns and Meeker counties, now has been found in Turtle Lake near Bemidji, some three hours directly north. The DNR also reported finding zebra mussels in five additional central Minnesota lakes and put out yet another call for “personal responsibility,” but also sought to allay fears. http://www.star...
Self-service checkout technology may offer convenience and speed, but it also helps turn law-abiding shoppers into petty thieves by giving them “ready-made excuses” to take merchandise without paying, two criminologists say. In a study of retailers in the U.S., Britain and other European countries, professor Adrian Beck and Matt Hopkins of the University of Leicester in England said the use of self-service lanes and smartphone apps to make purchases generated a loss rate of nearly 4 percent, more than double the average. Given that the pro...
BAGHDAD — A fire ripped through a maternity ward at a Baghdad hospital overnight, killing 12 newborn babies, government officials said Wednesday, a deadly blaze that was likely caused by faulty electrical wiring. By morning, grief-stricken fathers searched for their missing newborns in vain while angry relatives gathered outside the Yarmouk hospital in western Baghdad blamed the government for the tragedy. Some of the babies who perished were prematurely born, a doctor at the hospital said. The hospital director, Saad Hatem Ahmed, said the b...
OKLAHOMA CITY — Negotiators for two Native American tribes and the state of Oklahoma said Wednesday they have reached a settlement that would end a modern-day water rights and tribal sovereignty dispute that has its roots in the 19th century. The Chickasaw and Choctaw nations have claimed Oklahoma isn't abiding by the 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, which gave them authority over water in their jurisdiction. The state claimed the tribes are ignoring an 1866 pact in which they gave up certain rights after backing the Confederates in the C...
Some members of the Cherokee Tribal Council are saying that something’s amiss in how hire-fire decisions are being made in tribal government, and in a narrow decision the council voted to order a third-party investigation into those issues. “I have truly tried to sit back,” said Vice Chairman Brandon Jones, of Snowbird, before the vote. “My phone has blown up every day for the last six to eight months. Employees are reaching out to beg for help.” Issues with personnel Vice Chief Richie Sneed sparked the discussion with a speech delivered...
The Choctaw tribe is working to find new ways to help children and families prevent the need for foster care. Tribal judges, attorneys and social workers are working together to find a solution that will be effective. "There are twice as many kids in foster care as there were in the 1980s. We have 23,000 kids who age out of the system simply meaning that we've taken them away from their parents permanently. They have not been adopted and their life trajectory is very, very poor," says William Thorne, retired judge. Sixty percent are homeless,...
The Obama administration has denied a bid by two Democratic governors to reconsider how it treats marijuana under federal drug control laws, keeping the drug for now, at least, in the most restrictive category for U.S. law enforcement purposes. Drug Enforcement Administration chief Chuck Rosenberg says the decision is rooted in science. Rosenberg gave "enormous weight" to conclusions by the Food and Drug Administration that marijuana has "no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States," and by some measures, it remains...
INDIANAPOLIS - A report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said some racial and ethnic groups have much higher smoking rates than others, and health officials hope to use that information in cessation efforts. Dr. Brian King, deputy director for research translation for the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health, said the study found the smoking rate among Native Americans is the highest overall, at 39 percent. King said the data collected will help health officials when they're designing anti-tobacco programs and campaigns. "An...
A commonly held belief about the route taken by the first humans to arrive in North America may be turned on its ear after an international study released this week. It is thought that the migration of the first people into the Americas from Siberia occurred via the Bering Land Bridge through a corridor in what is now Western Canada. The area was opened up by the retreating ice sheets at the end of the last ice age between 14,000 and 15,000 years ago. But a study – “Postglacial viability and colonization in North America’s ice-free corri...
NEW TOWN, N.D. - If you're waiting on an important piece of mail, it can seem like it takes forever to reach you. But what do you do when you find out the post office returned it before ever giving you the chance to get it? That's what a lot people in the New Town community are now asking. The Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation recently mailed its tribal disbursement checks, worth $1,000, to more than 15,000 tribal members, but the distribution didn't go according to plan. "On Friday I know the checks were going to be mailed, so I go to check...
