A new Canadian railroad venture is sparking a significant increase of 15 to 20 oil trains that run through Minnesota each month. Canadian Pacific Railway's specialized new Canadian crude cargoes run on its main line, which bisects the Twin Cities. And the Canadian rail giant's recent deal to purchase a major U.S. railroad will likely make its new oil service even more appealing to shippers. Oil-by-rail has stoked safety concerns in Minnesota and elsewhere since 2013 when an oil train in Quebec...
RUTLEDGE, Minn. - Two Pine County farms, less than 40 miles apart as the crow flies, are on opposite sides of a debate over racial discrimination in U.S. agriculture that's flaring anew but has deep roots in the nation's history. Outside the small town of Rutledge, Harold Robinson and Angela Dawson joined Minnesota's tiny roster of Black farmland owners a few years ago with a 40-acre land purchase that they built into a small hemp farm and cooperative without government assistance. The acreage...
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - For the fourth time in six weeks, the Vikings needed Kirk Cousins to put them in position for a game-tying or game-winning field goal at the end of the fourth quarter. The fact Greg Joseph missed as time ran out in regulation on Sunday didn't matter. Cousins drove the Vikings downfield for a game-winning score on the first series of overtime, hitting K.J. Osborn for a 27-yard touchdown to give the Vikings a 34-28 win over the Panthers at Bank of America Stadium. Elizabeth...
Apprenticeships aren't just for manufacturing and other blue-collar jobs anymore. A several-year-old apprenticeship movement, most recently in information technology, has rooted among Twin Cities employment-trainers and business partners that are rebounding from the pandemic and recession. This has led to accelerated hiring of trained IT folks who often lack a four-year degree in computer science, something once required by employers. And it has led to more people of color hired in tech jobs....
MILLE LACS RESERVATION – Near the end of her life, Lucy Clark felt a sense of melancholy. "She was sad," said her grandson, Steve Premo, "because she couldn't hear the song of the language." Native Indian languages were suppressed for generations in Minnesota and elsewhere, to the point that fewer than 25 "first speakers" - those who speak a language from birth - remain in the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. https://www.startribune.com/mille-lacs-band-launches-ojibwe-language-book...
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - A notorious Haitian gang known for brazen kidnappings and killings was accused by police Sunday of abducting 17 missionaries from a U.S.-based organization.

The gang was blamed for kidnapping five priests and...
Line 3 opponents took their case against the controversial newly built pipeline to Washington last week, focusing on Democratic President Joe Biden during his first year in office. A show of strength to demonstrate continued opposition to Line 3 came Tuesday near a popular area in the nation's capital, at an event that included music and speakers outside the headquarters for the Army Corps of Engineers. Some in the crowd held signs saying "STOP LINE 3" while another read "Biden Declare Climate...

On a recent weekday, the city’s main street was quiet. Some cars were parked in front of the post office and around the corner by the meat market. In the kitchen of the Corner Store and Restaurant on Highway 371, cooks load plates of fried eggs and hash browns for a handful of diners. It’s a very different scene from earlier this year, during the Line 3 pipeline construction peak, when hundreds of pipeline workers lived and worked in the area. https://6park.news/northdakota/for-the-cities-along-line-3-the-pipeline-workers-br...
Enbridge has missed a deadline to fix an aquifer breach near Clearbrook, Minn. The company had until Oct. 15 to stop the unauthorized flow of groundwater that occurred when Line 3 construction crews pierced the aquifer near the Clearbrook Terminal in late January. The breach resulted in millions of gallons of groundwater flowing out of the aquifer. The Department of Natural Resources says while Enbridge has made progress toward stopping the flow, the company will have to compensate the state...
BEMIDJI, Minn. -- A one-time infusion treatment is helping patients showing symptoms of COVID-19 avoid severe complications, hospitalization and the need for supplemental oxygen, according to Heather Czywczynski, a nurse practitioner at Sanford Bemidji Medical Center. Her facility alone has given more than 700 infusions of monoclonal antibodies to COVID-positive patients who were within 10 days of the onset of symptoms since last November. Sanford Health reported that as of Oct. 11 its entire...
Guest Opinion. This past week was significant with the first Presidential Proclamation establishing Indigenous Peoples' Day on Monday ~ October 11, 2021. This news unfortunately eclipsed another major policy announcement by President Biden in the form of an Executive Order on Indian Education which is framed as follows: It is the policy of my Administration to advance equity, excellence, and justice in our Nation's education system and to further Tribal self-governance, including by supporting...
Call grandma. That’s Larry’s Curley’s message. So I did. It went something like this: “Grandma, it’s Shaun. How are you?” “Hi babba! I’m great, how are you? How is your mom?” We went back and forth a good half hour, catching up on family business and chatting a little football before she had to leave for an appointment. We hadn’t spoken in a few weeks. I could hear the joy in her voice, and I ended the conversation feeling better than I did earlier in the day. https://indiancountrytoday.com/news/distance-doesnt-have-to-becom...
