    Sep 19, 2017

    FARGO — What exactly happened to Savanna Marie LaFontaine-Greywind? When will we know? Will we ever know? Her story has riveted Fargo-Moorhead and the region, and has drawn the attention of people across the country and around the world, so much so that she’s become known simply as “Savanna.” Yet, we still know remarkably little about what happened. http://www.twincities.com/2017/09/18/what-exactly-happened-to-savanna-lafontaine-greywind-heres-what-we-know-and-dont-know/...

    Sep 19, 2017

  • Minnesota's new school accountability system up for federal review

    Sep 19, 2017

    After making some modest changes, the Minnesota Department of Education submitted a new plan Monday to the U.S. Department of Education for how state officials will ensure all students receive a quality education. The new school accountability system is required under the Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA, which was approved by Congress in 2015 to replace the controversial No Child Left Behind law. Minnesota’s proposed new system uses a mix of existing and new measurements that state leaders hope will give the public a clear view of s...

  • No charges against St. Paul school staffer who 13-year-old said asked to kiss her

    Sep 19, 2017

    A 13-year-old girl reported she sent photos of herself in underwear to a St. Paul classroom assistant, that they had a long hug and that he touched her clothed buttocks, and he once asked to kiss her but she told him no. Police received a report about the Capitol Hill Magnet School staffer, who was also a coach, in April and the school district put him on leave. At the end of August, the Ramsey County attorney’s office declined to file charges against Jonathan G. Ball, 33, citing insufficient evidence. http://www.twincities....

  • The Search for Crime and Justice on America's Indian Reservations

    Sep 19, 2017

    New Mexico is quietly wild. Its multicolored sunsets, volcano-pocked terrain and unique cultural landscape attract tourists, inspire artists and mask its dark side. After all, one of the perks of the sparsely populated state is that it's wide-open spaces offer a makeshift sanctuary to those who seek isolation and freedom, but with that magnitude of freedom comes the danger of believing that the day-to-day social and legal restrictions that govern society no longer apply. Anything seems possible under the desert sun, and many people have gone...

  • No Average Joe: Tribal member ends AAU powerlifting career with two world records

    Sep 19, 2017

    LAS VEGAS – Dallas Joe was determined to make his mark at the biggest stage of his career. He wanted to be a world record holder in all three powerlifting events, and really needed to seize the three opportunities he'd receive here Friday afternoon in the squat and deadlift to do so. But red flags, which symbolize a failed lift, stunted his momentum for the most part. Instead, he left the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino with just one of two goals achieved. The tribal member from Omak achieved a new world record in the deadlift, but fell short o...

    Sep 19, 2017

    (Reuters) - Toys 'R' Us Inc, the largest U.S. toy store chain, filed for bankruptcy protection late Monday, the latest sign of turmoil in the retail industry that is caught in a viselike grip of online shopping and discount chains. The Chapter 11 filing is among the largest ever by a specialty retailer and casts doubt over the future of its about 1,600 stores and 64,000 employees.
