ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota judge has rejected a request by concerned parents to force a statewide mask mandate in all schools. Ramsey County District Judge Thomas Gilligan said the court was “gravely concerned” about the risks of COVID-19 for Minnesota children, but said in his ruling late Tuesday that the court lacks the legal authority to order Gov. Tim Walz to issue the directive that the parents sought. The longshot legal challenge was unique in that it sought to force the governor to declare a peacetime state of emergency...

At a certain point, it was no longer a matter of if the United States would reach the gruesome milestone of 1 in 500 people dying of COVID-19, but a matter of when. A year? Maybe 15 months? The answer: 19 months. Given the mortality rate from COVID and our nation's population size, "we're kind of where we predicted we would be with completely uncontrolled spread of infection," said Jeffrey Klausner, clinical professor of medicine, population and public health sciences at the University of...
The initial court appearance Wednesday afternoon for the man charged with fatally shooting a driver in Plymouth was delayed a day after a prosecutor reported that Hennepin County sheriff's deputies said the suspect was too violent to meet with his attorney and attend the virtual hearing. Jamal L. Smith, 33, of Chicago, was extradited from central Illinois, where he was captured Aug. 24, and booked Tuesday night in the Hennepin County jail on charges he killed Jay Boughton, 56, of Crystal. In...
Lumber prices, a key cost in home construction and an influence on inflation in Minnesota and the nation, have plunged from their peaks this spring but remain well above pre-pandemic levels. The development is welcome news to people who want to build a new home because, aside from land acquisition and labor, lumber is typically the highest component cost. Prices on certain types of wood products remain elevated, including special order deckings, made-to-order windows and doors, engineered...
In New York last Sunday, a woman named Shanice Young was returning from her baby shower when she was shot in the head, allegedly by her ex-boyfriend. The ex was apparently looking to confront her current boyfriend when, instead, he shot her. Young was eight months pregnant when she died. She leaves behind a 6-year-old daughter and a younger sister, whom she was raising after her mother's death last year from cancer. In Chicago on Saturday, a boy named Kaden Ingram was confronted by his mother,...
St. Therese of New Hope, the site of one of the deadliest COVID-19 outbreaks in the state last year, directed its staff to violate health regulations designed to prevent the spread of the epidemic in long-term care facilities, according to a whistleblower lawsuit. The suit, brought last week by a former campus administrator at St. Therese, alleges that top executives at the 258-bed nursing home told employees "to ignore and violate" state and federal guidelines governing visitations and the...
The federal government has imposed sanctions on three Medicare Advantage health plans run by UnitedHealthcare because the Minnetonka-based health insurer spent too small a share of premium revenue on medical benefits for seniors. As a result, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced earlier this month that the health plans would not be allowed to enroll new subscribers for next year. Medicare Advantage plans are required to spend a minimum of 85% of premium dollars...
SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea said Thursday it successfully launched ballistic missiles from a train for the first time and was continuing to bolster its defenses, after the two Koreas test-fired missiles hours apart in dueling displays of military might. Wednesday's launches underscored a return of the tensions between the rivals amid a prolonged stalemate in U.S.-led talks aimed at stripping North Korea of its nuclear weapons program. Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency said...

MUSKEGON, Mich.-- Faces framed with thick fur, and adorned with traditional vertical-line chin tattoos. Kayak-makers concentrating on their craft. Mountainside island dwellings teetering on the skinniest of stilts. These glimpses into Alaska Native culture were captured in 1927, when photographer Edward Curtis traveled to Nome and the Bering Sea to visually and journalistically chronicle the lives and customs of the Indigenous people of areas including Little Diomede Island, King Island,...
Summer pageants and fairs offer a chance for young Native women to represent their nations as royalty. They carry a title and a platform to educate and inform others about important issues and their culture. At the same time, the “Indian Princess” label brings with it a number of problematic stereotypes that don’t fully reflect Native women’s strength, beauty and intelligence. Native America Calling will talk about redefining pageants and the ways Native women exemplify poise, strength and use the platform to shine a positive light on...

Data released today by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows Minnesota’s adult obesity rate in 2020 was 30.7%, up from 30.1% in 2019.
