Karen Taylor, 22, Sisseston, was taken to Sanford Bemidji Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries after her car slid of the U.S. Highway 2 overpass of Highway 197 and rolled in the ditch, according to a State Patrol incident report.

ST. PAUL -- The Minnesota Board of Animal Health Tuesday lifted the final quarantines on farms affected by bird flu earlier this year. Most of the previously infected sites were cleared to restock turkeys or chickens on Oct. 6, and now the few remaining sites have completed measures to allow birds to return to the facilities. Farmers were required to take several steps to make sure any flu virus was eliminated before the state allows birds back on the farm. “Minnesota poultry growers have worked tirelessly alongside animal health officials t...
ST. PAUL — Minnesotans registering and renewing license tabs or transferring ownership of motor vehicles and motorcycles will need to provide insurance information beginning Jan. 1. The Legislature changed state law to require insurance information for vehicle registration. Prior to the change, the law required owners to attest that the motor vehicle or motorcycle was covered by an insurance policy during the registration process; but the specific policy information was not required. Motorists must provide the name of the insurance company, p...
ST. PAUL -- A Minnesota court has ordered an Indiana company to refund nursing students' test fees. Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson sued the company, The College Network, Inc., in November. The company sells exam study guides to help students who want to become registered nurses pass exams for college credits through an online degree program at Excelsior College in New York. At least 800 Minnesota residents enrolled in the company’s services. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/region/3904070-court-orders-nursing-stud...
ST. LOUIS -- Minnesota will not be forced to change how it treats sex offenders until a federal appeals court decides whether the program is constitutional. The court Tuesday granted the state a stay, which delays enforcement of a federal judge's ruling ordering major changes in the state sex offender treatment program. The court earlier issued a temporary stay. Federal Judge Donovan Frank in June ruled that the state sex offender treatment program is unconstitutional. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/region/3904571-sex-of...
ROCHESTER, Minn. --- A suspect in a bank robbery in Rochester on Monday apparently returned and robbed the same bank again Tuesday -- and the scene was caught on a live television report. The man in his mid-20s to mid-30s was caught this time as Rochester police and the Minnesota State Patrol nabbed the suspect at gunpoint, without incident, in the nearby small town of Coates about 45 minutes after the Tuesday robbery at the Sterling State Bank. The suspect was not named. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/region/3904569-man...
FOSSTON, Minn. -- The suspect in last week’s arson attack on a Somali business in Grand Forks has been arrested. Polk County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Matthew William Gust, 25, East Grand Forks, late Monday night at a Super 8 Motel in Fosston, according to a news release from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. On Friday, Grand Forks County prosecutors charged Gust with arson, a Class B felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison, after they say he threw a 40-ounce beer bottle filled with gasoline through the windows of Juba Coffee House...

Beware if you’re making a wish list using the apps for Target or its gift registries. Your list, along with personal information, could be accessed by hackers, according to an international security firm. Unlike the 2013 Target data breach, customer financial information is not compromised via the wish list or registry apps, according to Patrick Dorn, a spokesman for Avast, the security firm that used the holiday season to examine some popular shopping apps. Researchers there wanted to determine what data was being collected and how secure i...
Federal agents searched more than a half-dozen Twin Cities chiropractic offices Tuesday but declined to say why, noting that the search warrants remain under seal. Agents with the FBI were searching between six and 10 office locations, according to FBI spokesman Kyle Loven. He said the offices were involved in “coordinated operations” but he declined to say more until the search warrants are unsealed. The Minnesota Department of Commerce fraud bureau is working with the FBI on the case. http://www.startribune.com/feds-raid-t...
Hillary Clinton cited efforts already underway in Minnesota as an example of how to fight domestic recruitment of terrorists, using a Minneapolis speech on Tuesday to call for a stepped-up effort but one that respects people of different backgrounds. “We cannot let fear push us into reckless actions that end up making us less safe,” Clinton said in a 45-minute speech at the University of Minnesota. Her campaign billed the speech as a major address on counterterrorism and preventing the radicalization of U.S. citizens into global jihad. “Am...
The random crime spree by a woman and three men on Oct. 18 started out as a grab for some quick cash and credit cards. Five hours later, two people had been killed, a man had been robbed at gunpoint on the street and a family made to plea for their lives during a home invasion. Detectives from Minneapolis and St. Paul spent hundreds of hours working together to connect the dots on the violent rampage Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman described Tuesday as the worst he had seen during his 18 years in office. http://www.sta...
Alexis Hayden has often juggled soccer practice with academics as a sophomore at Wayzata High School. She’s seen peers nod off in early classes, exhausted from late nights of homework. “The high school is very challenging,” she said. “It’s been said that it’s tougher than some colleges.” Hayden was among those who cheered Monday night when she found out Minnesota’s largest high school will start at 8:20 a.m. instead of 7:30 next year — swapping start times with most of the district’s grade-schoolers, who will head to school earlier. After mont...
Sergio Paez may still become the next superintendent of Minneapolis Public Schools, despite allegations of abuse at a school in his former school district. Contract negotiations are suspended until two board members return from a fact-finding trip to Holyoke, Mass., later this week and report back to the entire board on Jan. 12. The district’s attorney will continue her investigation, but the board did not reverse its approval of Paez’s bid for superintendent. http://www.startribune.com/school-board-sticks-with-paez-for-supe...
NEW YORK — While big-city jails get most of the attention, lockups in small and medium-sized counties have actually driven the overall explosion in the U.S. inmate population, according to a new analysis of 45 years of jail statistics. U.S. jails now hold nearly 700,000 inmates on any given day, up from 157,000 in 1970, and the Vera Institute of Justice found that smaller counties now hold 44 percent of the overall total, up from just 28 percent in 1978. Jail populations in mid-sized counties with populations of 250,000 to 1 million r...
LOS ANGELES — The nation's two biggest school systems — New York City and Los Angeles — received threats Tuesday of a large-scale jihadi attack with guns and bombs. LA reacted by shutting down the entire district, while New York dismissed the warning as an amateurish hoax and held classes. It's extremely rare for a major U.S. city to close all its schools because of a threat and it reflected the lingering unease in Southern California following the terrorist attack that killed 14 people at a holiday luncheon two weeks ago in San Berna...
While there’s still open water on the south end of Upper Red Lake, 4 to 7 inches of ice in other areas have tempted some anglers to venture out on four-wheelers. Barb Woltjer, owner of Upper Red’s West Wind Resort in Waskish, said it’s likely she’ll open the resort’s access road this week. Initially, the access will be limited to foot traffic and portable shelters, she said. Those restrictions could be liberalized this weekend if the ice thickens. On the east side of Upper Red where the resort is located, there’s no open water, Woltjer sai...
A Winnipeg mother spent the past week not knowing where her 14-year-old daughter was, after the girl went out with friends last Tuesday and failed to come home. "I'm just so worried for her that's all," said Solange Garson Monday morning. But later in the day, the girl was brought home by Winnipeg police. Garson said her daughter had fallen into a 'bad crowd' and was terrified with her daughter's disappearance, given what happened to Tina Fontaine. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/here-in-winnipeg-it-s-very-dangerous-m...
It’s easy to get confused by this year’s campaign for president. If you get information from watching television or from Internet rumblings, you might think Republicans are driving toward a massive victory. And why not? Donald Trump packs thousands of people into every one of his rallies and the television ratings for G.O.P. debates are ginormous. So this must be the Republican year, right? The problem with that narrative is that it misses the demographic shift that’s been occurring in America. Fact is any Republican candidate for presi...
Speaking at the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's final report on Tuesday, he said he wants the government to accept responsibility. The report found a school system for indigenous children separated families and tried to weaken their culture. Over 3,000 children died while at the schools over the last century. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35105339...
Justin Trudeau has pledged to work towards full reconciliation with Canadian Aboriginals as he accepted a final report on the abuses of the government’s now-defunct system of residential schools for indigenous children. The forcible separation of some 150,000 children from their families over more than 100 years was an attempt to end the existence of Aboriginals as distinct legal, social, cultural, religious and racial entities in Canada, the long-awaited report by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada concluded. “Our goal, as we...
For a second straight year, the Arctic is warming faster than any other place in the world, and walrus populations in the area’s Pacific and Atlantic ocean regions are thinning along with the ice sheets that are critical for their survival, researchers reported Tuesday. Overall, the outlook for the frozen top of the world is bleak, according to the annual Arctic Report Card: 2015 Update released by the federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Since the turn of the last century, it said, the Arctic’s air temperature has inc...
