As parents, community leaders and school officials puzzled over the precipitous drop in standardized test scores at one of the District’s leading public high schools, Emma Buzbee had a logical explanation. Buzbee, a senior at Wilson High School, said she and other high-performing students either refused to take the test or intentionally flubbed it to focus on Advanced Placement tests, which were given the following week. A high score on the AP exam can strengthen a college application, earn a student college credit and exempt them from c...
September's Weed of the Month is giant knotweed (Polygonum sachalinense). Giant knotweed has hollow, bamboo-like stems and grows over 12 feet tall, making it the largest of the invasive knotweeds. It forms tall, dense thickets that degrade habitats, particularly along riparian areas where it facilitates erosion and flooding. Giant knotweed is native to Asia. It was brought to North America in the 1800s and planted as an ornamental, for erosion control, and as livestock forage. Giant knotweed...
ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) has placed Dodge County under an emergency quarantine after emerald ash borer (EAB) was found in the city of Kasson. A United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) trap captured the insect. MDA staff has since conducted a search of the area and has discovered an EAB infested tree. Because this is the first time EAB has been identified in Dodge County, the MDA is enacting an emergency quarantine to limit the movement of firewood and ash material out of the county. This will r...
EAGAN, Minn. (Sept. 6, 2016) — Local media are invited to get an early look at the new Hy-Vee store in Eagan, located at 1500 Central Park Commons Drive, on Friday afternoon. Reporters will have the opportunity to tour the store, ask Hy-Vee officials questions and take photos and video.

The new approximately 99,700-square-foot store will feature the amenities Hy-Vee has become known f...
It began with a question: “On Oct. 22, 1989, did you kidnap, sexually assault and murder Jacob Wetterling?” “Yes, I did,” Danny Heinrich said. The hushed courtroom — packed with family members, reporters and law enforcement officers — began to buzz. Sitting in the front row, Patty and Jerry Wetterling listened, stoically at first, as Heinrich described that warm October night. http://www.startribune.com/nightmarish-details-of-jacob-s-final-moments-at-last-revealed-to-torrent-of-grief-and-anger/392521711/...
Minnesota’s highest court is considering whether a state legislator’s name should be removed from the ballot this November because of questions about whether he actually lives in the district he represents. The case heard Tuesday by the Minnesota Supreme Court concerns Rep. Bob Barrett, a Republican who lists a Taylors Falls home as his official address and owns another home in nearby Shafer, a city located just outside of legislative District 32B. A group of activists who believe that Barrett lives in the Shafer home staked out the Tay...
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration acknowledged late Tuesday that its transfer of $1.7 billion to Iran earlier this year was made entirely in cash, using non-U.S. currency, as Republican critics of the transaction continued to denounce the payments. Treasury Department spokeswoman Dawn Selak said in a statement the cash payments were necessary because of the "effectiveness of U.S. and international sanctions," which isolated Iran from the international finance system. The $1.7 billion was the settlement of a decades-old arbitration claim b...
A morning downpour forced a back-to-school event indoors at St. Paul Central High School on Tuesday, but inside the gym, the band’s drums had an added boom that seemed appropriate for a 150th-year celebration. In school districts across the state, Tuesday was a day for umbrellas and fresh starts as hundreds of thousands of kids returned to school — and not just old schools, but new ones, rescued ones and some without power, too. At Central, the state’s oldest high school, this year’s seniors packed the bleachers to mark the school’s 150th yea...
VIENTIANE, Laos — Acknowledging the dark aftershocks of the Vietnam War, President Barack Obama paid tribute Wednesday to survivors maimed by some 80 million unexploded bombs America dropped on Laos decades ago and pledged U.S. help to finally clean them up. Touring a rehabilitation center in Vientiane, Obama said the U.S. had a "profound moral and humanitarian obligation" to work to prevent more bloodshed from the remnants of the U.S. bombardment. He touted his administration's move to double spending on ordinance cleanup to roughly $90 m...
GREENVILLE, N.C. — Donald Trump said Tuesday night that Hillary Clinton's handling of private emails disqualifies her to serve as president. His own temperament, Trump said, was his "single greatest asset" and not the national security danger that Clinton alleges. Trump's charge, delivered to a packed crowd in swing state North Carolina, marked a pointed escalation of the Republican White House hopeful's case against his Democratic challenger as both court military families in key Southern battlegrounds. Clinton, meanwhile, accused Trump of i...
WASHINGTON — Is the death penalty in America gradually dying? There have been just two executions since May 1 and the total for 2016 probably will hit a 25-year low. Execution drug shortages, sometimes grotesque errors in death chambers and legal challenges to sentences imposed by judges have contributed to a dramatic decline in the number of states that are carrying out executions. http://www.startribune.com/execution-drop-makes-some-think-death-penalty-is-fading-away/392447071/...
WASHINGTON — The Latest on legal proceedings involving the $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline (all times local): 8 p.m. North Dakota authorities plan to pursue charges against Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein for spray-painting construction equipment at a Dakota Access Pipeline protest. http://www.startribune.com/the-latest-judge-grants-short-work-stop-on-4-state-pipeline/392487611/...
Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault II told an audience at the United Tribes Technical College Tribal Leaders Summit in Bismarck Wednesday his feelings are mixed following a federal judge’s partial granting of a restraining order to halt construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline near Cannon Ball. “It’s kind of a middle ground. Part of it’s good but it’s not all good because I know our sacred sites are going to be destroyed,” he said. Earthjustice, which is providing legal representation for the tribe in a federal lawsuit it...
An American Indian tribe succeeded Tuesday in getting a federal judge to temporarily stop construction on some, but not all, of a $3.8 billion four-state oil pipeline, but its broader request still hangs in the balance. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said Tuesday that work will temporarily stop between North Dakota's State Highway 1806 and 20 miles east of Lake Oahe, but will continue west of the highway because he believes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lacks jurisdiction on private land. He also said he will rule by the end of Friday...
An attorney for a Native American tribe trying to block construction of a pipeline across their land in North Dakota says they're ''disappointed'' with an agreement to halt construction at some sites until Friday. Diane Hodges reports. http://www.reuters.com/video/2016/09/07/native-americans-disappointed-with-pipel?videoId=369774481...
For months, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota has been protesting the construction of a $3.8 billion (paywall) oil pipeline that would cut through four US states. Last week, the protests reached unprecedented size. Hundreds of environmental activists joined the local community of about 8,000. The BBC reports that the largest gathering of Native Americans in over a century, with over 90 tribes represented, is currently underway in Cannonball, North Dakota. The Native tribes and environmentalists say the pipeline would disrupt a...
Only hours after lawyers representing the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe filed evidence in federal court documenting how some of the Dakota Access pipeline’s proposed route would go through a sacred burial site, the company unexpectedly began working on that very site. As bulldozers cleared earth, hundreds of Native Americans from many different tribes rushed onto the construction site to protect the sacred site. In response, the company’s security forces attacked the Native Americans with dogs and pepper spray. Now the tribe’s lawyer is reque...
On Saturday in North Dakota, security guards working for the Dakota Access pipeline company attacked Native Americans with dogs and pepper spray as they resisted the $3.8 billion pipeline’s construction on a tribal burial site. On Sunday, more than 500 people marched back to the construction site and held a prayer, mourning the destruction of their ancestors’ graves. Now, later today, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., will decide whether to grant a temporary restraining order to halt temporarily further construction of the Dakota Access pip...
BISMARCK, N.D. - On the first day of the United Tribal Technical College Leadership Summit, most of the discussion was focused on the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. Besides the contamination of their water source, one of the main things the DAPL conflict has come down to for Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault is respect. "You have to respect everything around you. You have to respect the environment, respect the water, you have to respect animals, you have to respect the air that you breathe. And if you don't, there's going...
Last week, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota emerged as climate change heroes when, with little political clout or media spotlight, they halted construction of the $3.7 billion Dakota Access oil pipeline. After tribal chairman David Archambault II and others were arrested for pushing past barricades to block excavating machinery, Leonardo DiCaprio tweeted that he was inspired, and Bill McKibben touted Native Americans as the “the vanguard of the movement.” As the tribe sued the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to stop crews from bur...
In an unprecedented show of inter-tribal cooperation not seen, according to one elder, since the Battle of Big Horn, thousands of activists from at least 200 Native American tribes have gathered in a remote part of North Dakota to protest the construction of a new oil pipeline. Thousands more have joined them in support: dramatic moments of protesters tying themselves to bulldozers are streaming live on Facebook. A huge campground—dubbed Sacred Stone Camp—comes complete with sweat lodges and schools. Local law enforcement, overwhelmed by the...
WASHINGTON - A divided federal appeals court Tuesday overturned the assault conviction of a Gila River Indian Community man, saying the tribal court failed to tell him he could get a trial by jury - if he asked. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Fortino Alvarez's treatment by the tribal court fell short of the fair treatment required under federal law and his convictions for a 2003 assault on his girlfriend had to be reversed. But Judge Alex Kozinski went on to pointedly criticize the behavior of the tribe's...
