LAC du FLAMBEAU - Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) testing in a church parking lot in Lac du Flambeau indicates that there are potentially remains of at least one individual, with the possibility of more.

This search was prompted by the discovery of a depression in the parking lot of a Presbyterian Church within the community. Following this, the THPD proceeded to remove specific asphalt sections from the parking lot. According...

New York, NY – With summer ending and the busy back-to-school season in full gear, sun protection may slip down the list of health and wellness priorities. But harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays are present year-round, and one study notes that children sustain a significant amount of sun exposure at school. About 23 percent of lifetime UV exposure occurs before the age of 18, and this exposure can have far-reaching effects. “Sun damage is cumulative, so sun exposure during childhood can contribute to skin cancer risk later in life,” says Deborah S....

Continued from last week. He explained the meaning of the Sacred Pipe. This was his mission – to open the ceremony and to carry and offer the Pipe. He was moved, he said, by all the words he had heard, by the strength that they represented together, how it all fit, and he knew that it was good. Then he spoke of the Pipe, of the origins of the Lakota, of the power the Pipe had and of the many manifestations he had witnessed of that power – how it had been used at Wounded Knee, and at the many trials, how he had seen, over and over, the min...

By Paul Hetzler Each fall deciduous trees, ice-cream stands, and marinas close for the same reason: as daylight dwindles and cold creeps in, they become less profitable. When income dips down to equal the cost of doing business, a wise proprietor will turn off the lights and lock the doors until spring. Some enterprising holdouts stay solvent longer than others who are in the same business. Perhaps they have less competition or a better location. Conversely, a few businesses close their shops at the first whiff of autumn. Those are the ones...

S. federal judge ruled that artwork created solely by artificial intelligence (AI) cannot be copyrighted because “human authorship is an essential part of a valid copyright claim.” Judge Beryl Howell issued this decision on computer scientist Stephen Thaler’s efforts to copyright an image he said was created by an AI model. Thaler’s ‘Creativity Machine’ claimed that as the owner of the Creativity Machine, he was entitled to the copyright. The Copyright Office rejected that application on the grounds that human authorship is necessary t...

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, in collaboration with the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, has wrapped up an $11.6 million initiative to counter the erosion of the shoreline banks in Lower Brule, South Dakota. The continuous force of ice and waves from Lake Sharpe has been eating away at LBST land ever since the Fort Randall and Big Bend Dams started operations in 1956 and 1966, respectively. Earlier research indicated that the project area’s shoreline was eroding at an alarming rate of around 13 feet annually, leading to the loss o...
By Isaac White As I ease into this week’s edition, I find myself pondering. What should I write about? I wonder if people will like this movie or that show? It’s like that every week but this is all an effort to connect and advise about film and television. I still hold that I do that pretty well, even if I doubt myself. Quite a lot. One of the draws for movies and scripted television is that it takes you away. To another place, a world not entirely unlike ours for the most part, but it’s different. There are times you want to see a piece...

PHOENIX - Autumn Nelson revealed she had sought treatment for her alcohol dependency last spring. It was her peers from the Blackfeet Nation in Montana who pointed her towards a rehab facility in Phoenix, considerably further south. Nelson, aged 38, mentioned that the institution even procured a one-way flight for her to undertake the long 1,300-mile trip. However, after just a month, she was evicted. She voiced her reservations about the glaring disparity: “All of a sudden I was out in the 108-degree heat in Phoenix, Arizona,” Nelson des...

KANSAS - Earlier this month, the Marion County Record newspaper in Kansas was the target of a police raid. According to the outlet’s attorney, law enforcement secretly copied data from at least one computer they seized during the raid and didn’t return it when ordered to do so. Bernie Rhodes, the newspaper’s lawyer, stated Officers illegally copied 17 gigs of data from the newspaper’s computer system. “This simply raises even further the level of suspicion that what occurred here was not done for any legitimate purpose,” Rhodes told VOA.
