  • 'Land is culture': Measure could restore nearly 12,000 acres of Leech Lake land

    Dec 7, 2020

    It was a surreal confluence of events for Faron Jackson Sr. Stuck inside his home on the Leech Lake Reservation in northern Minnesota with COVID-19, the tribal chairman watched as Congress voted to expand the boundaries of the reservation by 11,760 acres. His small quarantined world would soon be expanding, spilling out onto forest land dotted with lakes, streams and towering pine trees that the government illegally seized from his tribe more than 70 years ago. "It's been devastating," said...

  • Minnesota's counties, cities use up federal COVID aid as needs persist

    Dec 7, 2020

    Five of the 10 children at Wendy Clark's day care left when the pandemic started, and it took a while to regain clients. The cost of cleaning supplies climbed even as she needed them more than ever. Then her family got COVID-19. Then, shortly before she was forced to shutter her Shakopee home business for weeks of quarantine, Clark received a $4,500 grant from Scott County. "That saved us," she said of the money that trickled down from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security...

  • New test by Minnesota biotech firm can read COVID antibody levels

    Dec 7, 2020

    So, what's your titer? That question, still strange sounding, may soon become important as vaccines bring about the endgame for COVID-19. A person's COVID titer (pronounced TIGHT-er) is a measure of the concentration of virus-neutralizing antibodies in their blood. A high-enough titer of the antiviral proteins provides immunity to COVID-19, though researchers are still working to nail down exactly when protection ends. https://www.startribune.com/this-test-can-read-your-level...

  • Vikings beat Jacksonville and somehow, someway are now in the NFC playoffs fray

    Dec 7, 2020

    A Vikings team that limped into its bye week at 1-5, after a stupefying loss to a winless Falcons team that had just fired its coach and general manager, now finds itself holding a playoff position in a field expanded to 14 teams to fill more fan bases with hope and the coffers of the NFL and its TV partners with cash. There is an extra playoff team in both conferences and right now in the NFC, it would be the Vikings, winners for the fifth time in six games on Sunday after a 27-24 overtime...

  • State utility regulators vote against a stay on Enbridge pipeline project

    Dec 7, 2020

    State regulators declined Friday to grant a stay on construction of Enbridge's new pipeline across northern Minnesota, leaving little recourse to stop work on the $2.6 billion project while court appeals of key approvals and permits are pending. "Operation of the existing Line 3 is more likely to cause harm than construction of the project," said Minnesota Public Utilities Commissioner Valerie Means, explaining her vote against the stay. "The commission has determined that replacing an old, aging pipeline is the safest option for protecting...

"Water is not invincible. That's why I am here," said 22-year-old Liam DelMain of Minneapolis...

  • Leech Lake artist Delina White expands fashion design business

    Dec 7, 2020

  • Pandemic Learning Loss Heavier in Math Than Reading This Fall, But Questions Remain

    Dec 7, 2020

    Early test results this fall confirm that the pandemic has taken a toll on students' academic growth, particularly in math. But a new study from the Northwest Evaluation Association suggests we still lack a clear picture of the most vulnerable students. In a new study released today, NWEA researchers found more than 4.4 million students in grades 3-8 who participated in NWEA's MAP Growth test this fall performed about on par in reading, but 5 to 10 percentile points lower in math, compared to their peers in fall 2019. That means a student who...
