Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura has long cast himself as a working-class brawler taking on the power and media elites. He’ll have a chance again Tuesday before the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, meeting in St. Paul. Attorneys will debate whether a celebrity like Ventura is entitled to a $1.8 million award. http://www.startribune.com/the-media-bring-out-the-big-guns-as-the-ventura-verdict-goes-to-the-8th-circuit/333959821/...
A violent “whirlwind of events” in a St. Cloud Hospital room early Sunday morning left two men dead, including a 24-year veteran of the Aitkin County Sheriff’s Office. The man who shot him was tased by another sheriff’s deputy and died at the scene, authorities said. “A suspect being treated at St. Cloud Hospital shot and killed a sheriff’s deputy who had been monitoring the welfare of the suspect who was a subject of an investigation outside the St. Cloud tri-county area,” said Jill Oliveira, spokeswoman for the Bureau of Criminal Appr...
A mother accused of being involved in the disappearance of her two Lakeville daughters was arrested early Sunday morning in Florida. The girls, who have been missing since 2013, still have not been found, police said. Authorities now hope to extradite Sandra Grazzini-Rucki, 50, who has been missing since August after she was charged with three felony counts of deprivation of parental rights. http://www.startribune.com/mother-of-two-missing-lakeville-girls-arrested-in-florida/333926141/...
Parents might scoff at groggy high schoolers, but Wayzata school district officials are taking a serious look at the issue. The district is considering shifting more elementary schoolers into early wake-up times to ease the problem of sleep-deprived teens. High schoolers arrive at Wayzata High School by 7:30 a.m. Superintendent Chace Anderson thinks flipping elementary and high school start times — starting younger kids earlier and teens later — will help manage growth, maximize biological sleep times and optimize learning. http...
A teen driver profanely rebuffed the pleas of a passenger to stop texting, and as screams of “red light! red light!” echoed in the pickup truck, she struck a van in Sherburne County and killed the other driver and his 10-year-old daughter, according to prosecutors. Once authorities had exposed as a lie the initial explanation that her boyfriend had been driving, Carlee R. Bollig, 17, of Little Falls, Minn., was charged last week in District Court with two counts each of criminal vehicular homicide and criminal vehicular operation, texting and...
A gunshot to the head from a drive-by shooter is what killed a teenager as he sat in a car with a baby and others during the day last week near a north Minneapolis park, authorities said Sunday.

Rice, of Minneapolis, was identified by the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office as the victim of the shooting early Thursday afternoon near the corner of Lyndale and 27th avenues N. http://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-homicide-victim-was-a-teen-shot-in-head-while-in-car-with-baby-others/333854871/...
Out-of-hospital births, including those at home and in birthing centers, have continued to climb — and continue to be controversial. In 2012, the last year for which the Centers for Disease Control has complete data, nearly 54,000 babies were born at home, the highest number since 1975. But the women who chose home birth say they often are considered odd and are criticized for putting their children in danger. “I knew who I could and couldn’t tell,” said Jamie Schmidt, an Ohio woman who opted to give birth to her third child at home, “but I...

Quinn Meawasige says he has spent his life walking with “one foot in a moccasin and one foot in a sneaker”. The indigenous activist and youth council representative with the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), Meawasige learned to balance both those worlds when he discovered his Aboriginal roots and heritage in a self-imposed stint in rehab as a struggling teenager. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/18/canada-indigenous-youth-activists-first-nations...
An indigenous-owned supermarket is succeeding in one of Winnipeg's poorest neighbourhoods, at a time when other businesses have long left for the suburbs. Neechi Commons is an aboriginal worker co-op housed in a 35,000-square-foot converted brick warehouse located at 865 Main Street — a strip notorious for its run-down hotels. http://www.cbc.ca/radio/unreserved/bannock-poutine-indigenous-harvest-the-power-of-food-to-connect-cultures-community-1.3270859/neechi-commons-winnipeg-grocery-store-bucks-trend-in-core-neighbourhood-1...

When Cliff Cardinal was just 15 years old, his mother — celebrated actor Tantoo Cardinal — allowed him to miss a semester of school. "I took myself out of school really," explains Cardinal. And instead of forcing him back into the classroom, his mom sent him to the stage. He sat in on rehearsals at VideoCabaret, one of Canada's most inventive and prolific theatre companies. Seems it was a good investment. http://www.cbc.ca/radio/unreserved/bannock-poutine-indigenous-harvest-the-power-of-food-to-connect-cultures-community-1.3...

Tomorrow I talk to the first year medical students at the University of Minnesota, Duluth School of Medicine. I never really know for certain what I will tell them. I get to do this every year and usually in October. I generally start by showing “Walking into the Unknown” and use that as a launching point for further discussion. I vividly remember being a first year medical student and sitting in the front row, second seat from the right. When I first started medical school, I wasn’t even certain what each of the four years of schooling consi...
The American Heart Association and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community are calling their gathering this week “unprecedented” and groundbreaking. The groups will convene in Minneapolis Wednesday and Thursday (Oct. 14 and 150 along with national philanthropic organizations to focus on the crisis in Native American nutritional health. Issues include food access, tribal economies and health disparities. http://www.swnewsmedia.com/prior_lake_american/news/local/tribe-heart-association-team-up-for-native-health/article_9fb6b3...
A disproportionately high number of Alaska Natives are incarcerated in the state of Alaska. In 2014, nearly 32 percent of the prosecuted criminal offenders in Alaska were Alaska Natives; they only constitute less than 20 percent of the population. Recidivism rates are higher for that group as well. Now, the state is working on new ways to partner with tribes to help solve both problems. For the first time in Alaska, there will be a joint tribal-state court. A Kenaitze tribal judge will sit side-by-side with a state judge and have equal say in...
LOUISVILLE – For the first time since 2010, a Schimmel won’t be on the roster for the Louisville Cardinals women’s basketball team’s upcoming season. Shoni has been in the WNBA for a few years now and younger sister Jude finished out her playing career this past May (she went un-drafted in the WNBA). In the Louisville Tip-Off luncheon this week, head coach Jeff Walz mentioned that it was possible that Jude would head to Israel with her sister Shoni this year but they would suit up for different clubs teams. http://nativenews...
Kanesatake’s post-Oka “dark time” suddenly resurfaced this week after the community’s abandoned police station was torched Monday. The incident appears to be a response to the jailing earlier this month of four people for their role in the community’s reaction to a botched, federally-funded “illegal” raid by “an army of mercenaries” that ended in disaster more than a decade ago. http://aptn.ca/news/2015/10/15/jail-sentences-torched-police-station-reopens-old-wounds-from-kanesatakes-post-oka-dark-time/...
