46+ min ago (162+ words) If you're putting up a Christmas tree this season, you might find that more households are opting for a real tree. That's because "artificial Christmas trees are becoming more expensive due to tariffs," MPR News reports. But that doesn't mean your natural tree will be cheap; "fertilizer, tree seedlings, labor and other expenses are getting more costly," leading some tree growers to raise prices. A rare freshwater jellyfish the size of a quarter was spotted in Taft Lake in Richfield this past October, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune. "According to the DNR, most years pass without a single verified sighting." It's going to get colder, thanks to a "clipper wave train."

46+ min ago (397+ words) Recent headlines in Minnesota involving teachers, coaches and other trusted adults accused of abusing children show us something we cannot ignore. These are not isolated incidents. Far too many children are being harmed by the very people society has trusted to protect them. For those children, our response must prioritize their safety, dignity and healing.

Together, they form the backbone of our state's child protection efforts. Every county in Minnesota has a Multidisciplinary Team. Although MDTs might not have a physical building like a CAC, they share the same core philosophy and provide vital coordination. MDTs consist of the same group of professionals who work together on cases, review progress, and make decisions with the child's best interests…...

With so few companies licensed to transport cannabis in Minnesota, getting her product from point A to point B isn't so simple. "We're totally stuck," said Bursch, owner of Loonatixz Genetixz. "The whole state of Minnesota is pretty much stuck because no one can transport anything." Two years after Minnesota legalized recreational cannabis, Bursch and others who have high hopes for cannabis dispensaries in Greater Minnesota say this transportation bottleneck is contributing to supply shortages, stymying independent businesses as they attempt to get a foothold in the industry. Loonatixz Genetixz has cannabis clones ready to sell if…...
