BEMIDJI--A Bemidji man and woman suspected of stealing items from a Beltrami County home while the owners were away fishing were each charged with one count of second-degree burglary Tuesday. Matthew Donald Saice, 25, and Shauntel Agnes Saice, 27, were arrested Monday and Tuesday, respectively, after a search of the home they share. According to a criminal complaint against Matthew Saice, Beltrami County sheriff's deputies received a report of a burglary at about 7 p.m. Sept. 23. According the complaint, the owners of the burglarized home had...
ST. PAUL -- The governor and legislative leaders failed to agree on calling a special legislative session to spend $1 billion on construction projects and cut taxes, but now some Republican lawmakers say one is needed to fix health insurance in the state. On Wednesday, Oct. 5, House Speaker Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, brought up the special session suggestion when discussing problems unveiled last week with keeping individual health insurance policies available. Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton's Commerce Department leader, Mike Rothman, stopped short of...
MELBOURNE BEACH, Fla. — Hurricane Matthew marched toward Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas and nearly 2 million people along the coast were urged to evacuate their homes, a mass exodus ahead of a major storm packing power the U.S. hasn't seen in more than a decade. Matthew was a dangerous and life-threatening Category 3 storm with sustained winds of 115 mph (185 kph) as it pounded the central Bahamas early Thursday. Forecasters said it's expected to strengthen over the coming day or so into an even more potent Category 4 hurricanes as it a...
Three attorneys told St. Paul leaders Wednesday they will file a class-action lawsuit on behalf of all property owners in the city if St. Paul continues to move forward with its unusual — and, according to the attorneys, illegal — process for funding street maintenance. The City Council nevertheless confirmed the 2016 right-of-way assessment costs Wednesday evening, since most of the work the assessments paid for has already been completed. But city officials said they are looking into changing the process, following a Minnesota Supreme Cou...
A controversial HBO series called “Mogadishu, Minnesota” will not be filmed at a Minneapolis public housing complex in the city’s Cedar-Riverside neighborhood after all. Residents of the 1627 S. 6th St. building struck down a request to grant filmmakers access to their home, voting unanimously on Wednesday — 51 to 0. Most of the people who live in the building — one of four public housing buildings along Cedar Avenue collectively known as “The Cedars” — are senior citizens of East African descent. http://www.startribune.com/...
What began as a simple observation by local authorities — Thai women being shuttled between apartments and hotels around the Twin Cities — evolved into a federal takedown of a massive international sex trafficking ring, with nearly a dozen arrests and multiple indictments announced Wednesday. Seventeen people, including several Minnesotans and 12 Thai nationals, are being charged in an alleged scheme that stretched across the Pacific Ocean. The charges, announced Wednesday in Minneapolis, say the conspirators transported hundreds of young Tha...
St. Anthony has applied to join a federal program aimed at improving trust between police and the community, the city announced Wednesday. The move comes three months after St. Anthony police officer Jeronimo Yanez fatally shot Philando Castile during a traffic stop in Falcon Heights. The city was recently notified by the U.S. Department of Justice that it is reviewing the city’s application for the Collaborative Reform Initiative, according to a city news release. http://www.startribune.com/st-anthony-applies-for-federal-pr...
WASHINGTON – Federal Medicare and Medicaid payments for Mylan Pharmaceutical’s EpiPen epinephrine injector rose from roughly $86 million in 2011 to about $487 million in 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) told U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar Wednesday. The five-year, 463 percent spending increase by the federally run health insurance programs will likely add to the uproar over Mylan’s pricing policies that have already sparked charges of price gouging and congressional hearings. Klobuchar had asked the Department of Healt...
Five years of war have brought a new curriculum to eastern Aleppo’s schoolchildren. “My 8-year-old son knows all the weapons. He hears the sounds and says, ‘Dad, that was a barrel bomb. Dad, that was shelling,’ ” said Ali al-Halabi, a father of three. Out in the streets, children scavenge for bomb fragments, bullet casings and tiny ball bearings, as if they were treasures. “This is their childhood now,” Halabi said. “It’s changed beyond all recognition.” http://www.startribune.com/even-as-bombs-fall-underground-schools-open-...
BRUSSELS – Western and Afghan officials gathered Wednesday for a feel-good conclave to pledge billions of dollars in development aid to the struggling country. The feel-bad topics may have been stuffed into a late-night news release the night before. Announced with little fanfare, Europe got Afghanistan to agree to accept an unlimited number of deportations of Afghan citizens. Volumes are expected to be so high that as part of the deal, “both sides will explore the possibility to build a dedicated terminal for return in Kabul airport.” E.U....
Cincinnati City Council Wednesday rejected a proclamation that would have recognized Indigenous Peoples' Day instead of Columbus Day – a loss that shocked supporters of the idea. Five of council's nine members abstained from a vote on the proclamation, which was brought forward by Councilwoman Yvette Simpson, who is running against Mayor John Cranley in next year's mayoral race. As the votes were cast, Simpson sat stunned. The room was silent. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2016/10/05/council-rejects-indigenou...
Chicago enters the debate over whether or not to celebrate Christopher Columbus, a man whose legacy has turned sour. Chicago designated Monday as Indigenous People’s Day, to be celebrated in conjunction with Columbus Day. Sharing the day might sound like a judicious move, but some Italian Americans are not happy about it. Increasingly, cities like Seattle and Minneapolis are designating Indigenous People’s Day to celebrate the contributions of Native Americans and acknowledge their hardships. Four states – Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, and South...
WASHINGTON (Gray DC) The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe was back in federal court on Wednesday, fighting to stop the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. A federal appeals court panel had some tough questions for opponents of the $3.8 billion oil pipeline. Attorneys representing the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, the Justice Department and Dakota Access presented their arguments before a panel of three judges. The three judges were aggressive in their questioning frequently interrupting testimony and asking for clarification, even appearing...
Federal judges on Wednesday reviewed a tribal request to halt construction on a controversial pipeline project in North Dakota. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has asked the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to block construction on a stretch of the Dakota Access Pipeline while its lawsuit against the project moves forward. A three-judge panel on Wednesday probed both that request and the lengths to which the federal government worked to consult the tribe before approving the pipeline's route near its land. http://thehill....
Racism against Native Americans is prevalent across North Dakota. Nearly every activist who stands to speak in Big Camp’s Sacred Circle mentions oppression and genocide, in one form or another. From the logo emblazoned on State Highway Patrol vehicles – Sitting Bull’s killer Marcellus Red Tomahawk – who was from Cannon Ball area, to whistleblowers in 2012 condemning federal and state authorities for allowing native children to be placed in homes with sexual predators, to the recent use of attack dogs against activists, to blatant disregard and...
The company developing the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline says it is committed to the project, despite strong opposition and a federal order to halt construction near an American Indian reservation in North Dakota. The memo to employees, which was also released to some media outlets, is the first time in months the company has provided significant details of the four-state, 1,172-mile (1886-km) project. It came the same day as a planned “day of action” in cities around the U.S. and in other countries, including a rally that drew hun...
ST. ANTHONY, N.D. — Construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline was shut down Wednesday afternoon west of St. Anthony after protesters demonstrated at the town's entrance and at a worksite a few miles west. Protesters initially planned to drive through St. Anthony to demonstrate at the worksite, but were halted by law enforcement, which blocked County Road 136 into town around noon. They subsequently made an end-run around the roadblock to protest at the worksite about an hour later. Construction was halted at worksites to the west after the i...
State regulators say they received a confidence boost this week after learning federal inspectors had spent the equivalent of 400 days looking over the Dakota Access Pipeline project. “The discussion with PHMSA reinforced the value of new, state-of-the-art pipelines as the preferred method for transporting oil,” said PSC Chairwoman Julie Fedorchak. Public Service Commission members met Tuesday with members of the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, with Dakota Access being a major point of discussion. htt...
When opposition to the Dakota Access pipeline galvanized the support of hundreds of US tribes, it became an unprecedented show of Indian Country unity and resolve. Now, it's a global indigenous movement. Members of tribal communities from around the world have joined in activism led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. A Sami group from Norway was the latest to arrive on Friday. This resistance campaign, many say, has emerged as part of a greater global crisis -- a united struggle in which indigenous lands, resources, and people are perpetually...
The legal fight over the South Mountain Freeway escalated last week as federal and state attorneys raised the specter of mounting costs to taxpayers if a judge halts its construction. The possible delay in construction would occur while opponents appeal the judge’s ruling against them. At about the same time, the Arizona Department of Transportation unveiled a partial redesign of the freeway to nearly 500 Ahwatukee residents. During that meeting, police ousted about a dozen Native American protesters who had walked 10 miles to attend the e...
