MPR News reviewed a document that shows dozens of Minneapolis police officers worked with a Homeland Security Task Force. This comes as some are skeptical about relationship between local police and federal agencies after the surge of ICE agents this winter.Minnesota is also close to passing the nation's first ban on the use of artificial intelligence that generates fake nude images of real people. Plus, an effort is being launched to train Minnesotans on how to tell their stories about the ICE surge in the state. Also, this weekend, West St. Paul will celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a parade.And, we bid farewell to MPR News chief meteorologist Paul Huttner who's retiring with a special lookback at his career.The Minnesota Music Minute was “Spirit Horse” by Annie Humphrey. The Song of the Day was “I Will Dare” by the Replacements.

Jedes Jahr eine Deutschland-Rundumsicht. Auch diesmal wieder eine Stichprobe aus dem Reiseland Deutschland von Nord nach Süd und von Ost nach West: Städte, Inseln, Natur- und Kulturregionen, Berge und Seen. Deutschland – ein Überblick Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD So unterschiedlich wie die Einschätzungen der befragten Reiseregionen zeigte sich der Deutschlandtourismus im Jahr 2025. Trotzdem gilt verhaltene Zufriedenheit. Stagnierung bei Gästen aus dem Ausland? Entwicklung 26: Was so schön hätte sein können, traf dann spätestens mit dem geopolitischen Paukenschlag Anfang März nur noch bedingt zu. Das „Incoming“, also die Zahl der Besucher aus dem Ausland, war ein Hoffnungsträger. Jetzt lässt die Zahl der Auslandstouristen erst mal nach. Es gibt handfeste Probleme für den Deutschlandtourismus und seine Besuchenden aus dem Ausland. Weniger Gäste aus Asien und auch Nordamerika sind absehbar, denn die üblichen Reiseströme sind ins Stocken gekommen. Deutschlandtourismus von Deutschen gerettet? Muss der Deutschland-Tourismus jetzt von uns, im eigenen Land, gerettet werden? Genau genommen sind ja die Inlandsurlauber für viele Regionen die gewaltigste Stütze, die sie bekommen können. Rund die Hälfte der Deutschen machen schließlich Urlaub im eigenen Land. Werden es 2026mehr werden? Anzeichen und dazugehörige Schlagzeilen gibt es einige: Buchungseinbruch in der Türkei, Spanien völlig überlaufen. Flugurlaub wegen Kerosinmangels teurer. Das alles wären gute Argumente für den Inlandsurlaub. Allerdings auch hier ist die wirtschaftliche Situation durchaus herausfordernd. Kaub: Burg Pfalzgrafenstein – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Stadt – Land – Fluss Im Podcast habe ich quasi in Stichproben nachgefragt und es gibt bei gleichen Problemen, durchaus unterschiedliche Ausgangslagen und Herausforderungen. Die Konkurrenz, hab ich gehört, sei ebenfalls größer geworden. Was war, was kommt war die durchgehende Frage an Alle. Für Sie / Euch als Zuhörende ist das Wichtigste natürlich auch dabei: Jedes Ziel hat tolle Reisetipps für dieses Jahr parat. Zum Zug kommen diesmal Bremen, die INSEL Usedom, Brandenburg, Sachsen, der Thüringer Wald, Weimar, Baden Württemberg und der BodenSEE. “Schulschiff Deutschland” in Bremerhaven – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Bremen: Digitale Stadtmusikanten & „Bremen „Pay“ Maike Bialek, Kommunikationschefin der Wirtschaftsförderung Bremen wirkt ziemlich glücklich mit Bremens Bilanz und weist mit Nachdruck auf die neue Tourismusstrategie hin. Sie ist gekennzeichnet von Nachhaltigkeit und Digitalisierung. Belohnung statt Verbot BremenPay – Foto: Screenshot Bremen.de Im Mai startet „BremenPay“. Das ist weder eine neue Kreditkarte oder Zahlungssystem, sondern eins, das Besuchende belohnt. Vorbild ist das erfolgreiche Programm „COPPAY“ aus der dänischen Hauptstadt Kopenhagen. Umweltgerechtes Verhalten von Touristen wird damit belohnt. Ein Programm, das nichts verbietet, sondern belohnt. Hört, wie's funktioniert. Im Bereich der Digitalisierung gibt es Neues von den Bremer Stadtmusikanten. Die wurden digitalisiert und werben jetzt für die Hansestadt. Zu guter Letzt wären da noch die jährlichen Feierlichkeiten zu deutschen Einheit zu erwähnen. Am 3. Oktober 2026 ist Bremen Gastgeberin, freut sich schon darauf und bastelt an einem interessanten Programm. Insel Usedom: Natur und Infrastruktur Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Mal ist es zu voll und manchmal viel zu leer. Das ist das Schicksal von Bade- und Saisondestinationen. Davon wird auch Deutschlands östlichste Insel nicht verschont. In der absoluten Hauptsaison (Juli & August) verliert die vorhandene Infrastruktur regelmäßig gegen den Touristenstrom. In der absoluten Nebensaison (November bis Februar) ist es, von Weihnachten und Silvester abgesehen, mitunter so leer, dass es unrentabel wird, die touristischen Angebote in voller Stärke aufrecht zu erhalten. Der Reiseradio-Podcast 302 vom letzten Dezember versucht das Problem zu analysieren. Usedomer Bäderbahn in Wolgast – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Michael Steuer, Geschäftsführer von Usedom Tourismus berichtet von Planungen und Verbesserung. Er berichtet nicht von seiner größten Hoffnung in Sachen Verkehrsinfrastruktur, denn da haken die Planungen mal wieder. Immerhin ist die Insel immer wieder für eine Überraschung gut, wie beispielsweise der in diesem Jahr zum ersten Mal stattfindende „Strandmarathon“. In Sachen Kultur tut sich seit vielen Jahren etwas mit den „Usedomer Musiktagen“ und den „Usedomer Literaturtagen“. Zu Letzteren kommt Alt-Kanzlerin Angela Merkel am 10. September zu einer Lesung nach Peenemünde. Zeitnah zu den Landtagswahlen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am 20.09. Diese Wahlen und die prognostizierten Mehrheiten sind derzeit nicht nur in M-V selber, sondern auch auf der Insel ein Problem. Hört die Geschichte im Podcast. Usedom bei Zempin – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Und Eins steht für die Touristiker felsenfest: Die besondere Natur der Insel ist ihr Kapital, das man auf keinen Fall verspielen dürfe. Brandenburg: Wir haben auch schöne Seen Erst kommt die Mecklenburgische Seenplatte und dann ist man auch gleich in Brandenburg. Man leidet seit Jahren darunter, dass es dort mindestens genauso schöne Seen gibt, die image- wie umsatzträchtig gegen die berühmten Nachbarn hinten runter fielen. Seit November 25 gibt es dafür eine neue Kooperation zwischen Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg und Berlin. Daraus könnte was draus werden und sinnvoll ist es für alle Beteiligten, denn: Urlauber achten in der Regel nicht auf Bundesländergrenzen! Brandenburger Seenplatte / Deutschlands Seenland – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Gleichwohl haben es die deutschen Geheimtipps leider immer noch etwas schwerer, bestätigt Regina Zibell von Reiseland Brandenburg. Trotzdem sei alles soweit gut, wenn man mal das Sommerwetter 25 außen vor ließe. Neu in Brandenburg ist noch mehr Wasser. Der Verbund des „Lausitzer Seenlands“ wachse und viele Seen würden noch in diesem Sommer miteinander verbunden. Regina verspricht ein Paradies. Nach dem Gespräch, ich war schon am Zusammenpacken, sagt sie noch: „Ups, ich hab ja Prinz Heinrich ganz vergessen, dessen 300. Geburtstag wir in diesem Jahr feiern“. Nicht so schlimm, denn dazu gibt's ja schon den Reiseradio-Podcast 304 vom Januar. Der Prinz lohnt, genauso wie fast alle Begleiterscheinungen insbesondere rund um sein Schloss in Rheinsberg. Schlossterrasse Rheinsberg – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Sachsen: Bewegung und Kultur  Ines Nebelung, Sprecherin der Tourismus-Marketinggesellschaft Sachsen, schaut mit gemischten Gefühlen auf den Sommer 26. In Zeiten von wirtschaftlichen Problemen hätten die Leute schon im letzten Jahr weniger Geld für Urlaub ausgegeben. Das könne ein Problem werden für Sachsen als explizites Kurzreiseziel. Sächsische Schweiz – Foto: Frank Richter / TMG Sachsen Gleichzeitig gäbe es aber entsprechende Hoffnungsschimmer. Die Schlagzeile lautet deshalb auch: Kultur- und Städtereisen (z.B. nach Leipzig und Dresden) in Kombination mit Naturerlebnis. Dankbar ist man über den „Nachhall“ zum Kulturhauptstadtjahr in Chemnitz. Fortgeführt werden auch die Programme um das „Jahr der Romantik“ von 2025. Im Mittelpunkt das Elbsandsteingebirge und der Komponist Carl Maria von Weber. Wandern im Erzgebirge – Foto: Erzgebirge-Tourismus Highlight des Jahres werde sicher das „Europäische Wanderfestival“, das im Erzgebirge Station mache. Das geschieht zusammen mit dem Deutschen Wandertag in Oberwiesenthal. Thüringer Wald: Mountainbikes und Tradition  Berühmt für die nächste Region ist der Rennsteig für Wanderer und im Zentrum Oberhof für Wintersportler. Das kleine Mittelgebirge zieht sich von Eisenach im Nordwesten bis nach Suhl und Ilmenau im Südosten. Wir haben jede Menge Stärken, sagt Susann Eberlein vom Regionalverbund Thüringer Wald. Thüringer Wald – Foto: Jens Hauspurg / TTG Die Aktivitäten rund um Mountainbike-Strecken und Parcours sollen ausgebaut werden. Nicht ganz einfach, denn man muss mit den Waldbesitzern unter einen Hut kommen. Ansonsten spielt Kultur und Geschichte eine wichtige Rolle von Bach bis zum gläsernen Christbaumschmuck. Hauptargument für den Thüringer Wald sei aber immer noch die Tatsache, dass man beim Wandern und in der Natur nicht mit Hundertschaften von weiteren Urlaubern unterwegs sei. Credo: Ruhe, Entspannung und ursprüngliche Natur in einem Umfeld von Tradition.

Goethe, Schiller, Bach, Liszt, Richard Strauß, aber auch das Bauhaus stehen für Weimar. Um Vieles an Kultur kümmert sich die Klassik-Stiftung, die aber auch ganz eng mit den Touristikern der Stadt zusammenarbeitet. Themenjahr 2025: Faust – Grafik: Klassik Stiftung Weimar Johannes Wiesel von der Klassik Stiftung zeigt sich im Gespräch zufrieden mit den Aktivitäten des letzten Jahrs rund um Goethes Faust, der in die Gegenwart geholt wurde. Mit Erfolg, denn die Tourismusstatistik kommt positiv rüber. In diesem Jahr warten aber weitere kulturelle Highlights auf die Gäste in der Stadt. Entdecken und Wiederentdecken ist das Hauptmotto, denn es gäbe auch ein umfangreiches Programm für die „Wiederholungstäter, sagt Johannes Wiesel. Das Angebot „Öffnen“ soll hauptsächlich auch intensive Blicke hinter die Kulissen ermöglichen. Im Oktober wird das Weimarer Stadtschloss wieder eröffnet. Heute, am 30. April, eröffnet auch das Wittumspalais wieder. Es war der Witwensitz von Herzogin Anna Amalia, der die Stadt noch viel mehr verdankt, als die weltberühmte Bibliothek. Ilm-Park mit Goethes Sommerhaus – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Wie bei allen Befragten gibt es auch in Weimar wichtige Impulse der Klassik-Stiftung in Sachen KI, Digitalisierung und Literaturgeschichte. Selbst die Frage von Umwelt- und Naturschutz spielt eine gewichtige Rolle. Warum? Hört im Podcast nach. Baden-Württemberg: Schlaglichter in Sachen Auslandstourismus Heidelberg: Schlossbeleuchtung Foto: Heidelberg Marketing Baden-Württemberg repräsentiert, neben dem touristisch allgegenwärtigen Bayern, die Regionen, die insbesondere bei Gästen aus dem Ausland eine große Rolle spielen: Kein US-Tourist verlässt Deutschland ohne den Blick auf Heidelberg, „Black Forest“ und „Lake Constance“. Schwarzwald bei Furtwangen “Fallerhof” – Foto: Erich Spiegelhalter / Schwarzwald-Tourismus Sannah Mattes vom Tourismusmarketing Baden-Württemberg kann dementsprechend selbstbewusst auftreten, auch wenn die Zahl der US Touristen je nach Region teilweise stark nachgelassen hat. Das Jahresmotto 2026 lautet „Sehnsuchtsorte im Süden“ und da könne sich aufgrund der Vielfältigkeit jeder sein Lieblingsziel heraussuchen. Sehnsucht sei ja schließlich höchst emotional und individuell. Bodensee: Deutsch und International Unterwegs mit der “Stuttgart”, Kurs Konstanz – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Lake Constance, im Deutschen schlicht Bodensee. Internationales aus vier Ländern gehört hier eigentlich schon immer zur DNA. Wo aber fängt man an? Deutsch Vielleicht einfach beim internationalen Namensgeber Konstanz. Eric Thiel, Geschäftsführer der Marketing und Tourismus Konstanz GmbH sagte mir, dass der Bodensee im letzten Jahr, ganz gegen die Gewohnheit, mit ziemlich viel Regen und schlechtem Wetter im Juli und August zu kämpfen hatte. Dennoch sei man heil durch die „Wetterkrise“ gekommen. Hier gab es im Übrigen keine Besuchereinbrüche aus den USA. Im Gegenteil. Die Touristen von dort seien besonders interessiert an historischen Orten und hätten noch mehr Spaß, den Bodensee mit E-Bikes zu umrunden. In wenigen Tagen gleich vier Länder zu bereisen, sei eben etwas Besonderes. Imperia – An der Hafeneinfahrt in Konstanz – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Für 2026 verspricht er, neben der wundervollen Stadt und der benachbarten Insel Mainau reichlich Neues. Die lange Jahre gesperrte Marienschlucht sei jetzt wieder geöffnet und über einen Skywalk zugänglich. Zu sehen gäbe es jetzt auch das „Assisi-Panorama“ ein quasi historisches „Wimmelbild“ über Konstanz zu Zeiten des Konzils im Mittelalter. In Sachen Umwelt ist man am Bodensee ohnehin achtsam. 10 Jahre sanfter Tourismus zahlten sich inzwischen aus, schließt Eric Thiel unseren Talk ab. International 24 Stunden Flohmarkt Konstanz / Kreuzlingen – Foto: MTK / Chris Danneffel Die Bodensee-Story ist aber noch nicht zu Ende erzählt, nicht umsonst hat er auch Ufer in Österreich, der Schweiz und Liechtenstein. Wenn man den ganzen See vermarkten will, geht das nur in internationaler Zusammenarbeit. Dafür ist die Internationale Bodensee Tourismus Gesellschaft gegründet worden. Um die Pressearbeit dort kümmert sich Alina Milz. Sie klärt mich über die bewährte, internationale Zusammenarbeit auf. Es gebe natürlich auch Herausforderungen, schließlich verlaufe an der Grenze zu Liechtenstein und der Schweiz eine EU-Außengrenze. In der Lebenspraxis der Urlauber spiele das aber kaum eine Rolle. Konstanz und Kreuzlingen gingen zum Beispiel ineinander über. Als Fußgänger bemerke man den Wechsel quasi nicht, auch wenn der Autoverkehr kontrolliert werde. 80 Jahre Bregenzer Festspiele: Der Freischütz auf der Seebühne 2024/25 – Foto: Daniel Ammann / Bregenzer Festspiele Bregenzer Festspiele. Alina Milz wartet dann noch mit einigen internationalen Terminen und Attraktionen auf, die sich Bodenseebesucher 2026 nicht entgehen lassen sollten. Dazu gehören die Jubiläen “80 Jahre Bregenzer Festspiele”, “1200 Jahre Radolfzell” oder “50 Jahre Bodensee-Weinfest” in Meersburg. Im Podcast hat sie noch mehr gute Tipps parat, auch was die Bodensee-Plus-Karte betrifft und die, ebenfalls internationalen, Schiffsrouten über den See. Bodenseefähre (Symbolbild) – Foto: Rüdiger Edelmann / ttb-media TON-TEXT-BILD Es gäbe sicher noch Vieles über den Deutschland-Tourismus und den Urlaub im Heimatland zu erzählen. Ich persönlich bin immer wieder erstaunt, wie vielfältig, abwechslungsreich und teilweise sogar unentdeckt bestimmte deutsche Regionen sind. Es gibt viel zu entdecken. Verreist also gerne mal im Inland. Es lohnt sich!

El Burrito Mercado has been a bedrock of the West St. Paul community for nearly 50 years. It's changed a lot over that time, evolving from a small grocery store into a restaurant, deli, bakery, and so much more. Now, it's had to change again, as thousands of federal immigration agents have descended on this Twin Cities neighborhood over the past few months. Milissa Silva, the co-owner and CEO of El Burrito Mercado, tells us the story of how her immigrant parents' business became a community hub, and how she and her staff have increased security and set up a food delivery operation for people afraid to leave their homes.  Check out El Burrito Mercado's website and Instagram for ways to help the West St. Paul community.

The controversies surrounding the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region board continued this week after a sixth rural municipality, Springfield, voted to depart the group. In Episode 4, Councillor Mark Miller elaborates on their reasons, which echoed complaints that derailed the WMR's previous Plan20-50 development blueprint.This interview supplements our column in today's Winnipeg Sun - RM of Springfield exits WMR6.10 Part 2- Ward 3 councillor Mark Miller describes the district of 16,000 residents which includes the towns of Oakbank, Dugald and Anola. It's a rural setting east of Winnipeg with many commuting to the city for work and appointments. He explains how Plan20-50 was set up to allow Winnipeg to "dominate" development planning with a veto that undermines local autonomy. After being ordered back to the drawing board, that hasn't changed."We can breathe a sigh of relief to get out of this bad situation," Miller says, calling it "a horrendous horrible exercise" that cost his RM over $130K. While WMR defenders smeared opposition concerns, "It wasn't misinformation - you were providing accurate information... they did not consult. I'm thankful you were on top of this from Day One."He actually attended to the single Plan20-50 open house the WMR staged in Winnipeg in 2024, held on a weekday when "most of us are working stiffs" and couldn't go."I was disgusted, " Miller states. "They weren't catering to the citizen who is most affected in the rural municipalities... maybe it was strategy that they don't want the public to be involved" 23.23 Part 3- While Springfield will go back to the residents before any vote to re-join the WMR, residents of Winnipeg have had no say whatsoever on remaining in the organization, let alone be able to find out if taxpayers are getting value for their dollars."The hemorrhaging is continuing, and there could probably be more," Miller predicts, as other RMs determine "there's nothing for us. "27.10- The schedule for preparing a new regional plan runs concurrent to the fall municipal elections, which Miller agrees means support for the WMR can become an campaign issue.- "If our Mayor runs that he is for it, I can assure you his vote count will go way down because our residents don't want it. "- "The whole process was flawed and continues to be flawed if they don't consult with the public directly... it isn't an expensive exercise, don't tell me it's too expensive."- "I will not vote for anything that allows the City of Winnipeg to have veto power."At the council meeting before the vote, Mayor Patrick Therrien revealed “The City of Winnipeg will be looking to expand its boundaries in the very near future." Miller asks, "Does he know something we don't?... if that's the case are they just going to take parts of West St. Paul and Springfield and MacDonald or Headingley?... If that's their subtle agenda then we ought to be really cautious about this."*****OUR RECENT COLUMNS IN THE WINNIPEG SUNTop cop silent on drug siteExcuses for ridership decline fails to fool Transit usersTO DONATE TO THE SEASON 7 FUNDING DRIVE, EMAIL MARTYGOLDLIVE@GMAIL.COM

Once again, it's time to hit the road on another Haunted Road Trip. This time we're headed to the Gateway to the West: St. Louis, Missouri. In this chilling episode, we dive into two of St. Louis' most haunted landmarks: the Powell Symphony Hall and the Lehmann House. As one of the oldest and most beloved venues in the city, Powell Hall has also been a stage for eerie paranormal occurrences.  We'll meet the ghost of a mysterious man in white who sports a magnificent handlebar mustache and an apparition known as George. Our next stop will be the Lehmann House located in the heart of Lafayette Square in the historic district. Lehmann House is an imposing Victorian that's both hauntingly beautiful and just plain haunted. Stay long enough and you'll hear voices in the other room and the sound of footsteps. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of one of the previous owners who also sports a magnificent mustache: Edward Rowse. Pack your bags and join us for a spine-tingling journey through time where the past refuses to be ignored.Paranormal News : Singular Fortean : Owl Man SightingBenton Place History - Saint Louis Patina (West Side & East Side)Haunted Rooms - Most Haunted Hotels in St. LouisSTL Ghosts - Lehmann House Bed & BreakfastLadue News - Lehmann House Ghost StoriesBook: The Spirits of Lehmann House by : Marie DaviesYou can also use this link to text us your story :)If you have an experience, story, or anything else you'd like to share with us, you can email us at Opeaghost@gmail.com You can also follow us on Instagram, Join our Facebook group : Ope, A Ghost, or Follow us on YoutubeToodles!

Minnesota has been facing a psychiatric bed shortage. In a 2023 Minnesota Department of Health study, the top reason for discharge delays from Minnesota hospitals is a lack of availability of psychiatric beds. The study found some patients were spending as long as two weeks in a hospital waiting for psychiatric bed placement. There is a new facility hoping to ease some of those pains. The Crisis and Recovery Center in West St. Paul held it's ribbon cutting on Monday. The facility will have 16 psychiatric beds. It's run by Dakota County and the non-profit Guild, which provides mental health services. Deputy Director of Dakota County Social Services Emily Schug and Guild's CEO Trish Thacker joined Minnesota Now to talk about the new facility.

From multiple New York Times bestselling author Tom Clavin comes the thrilling true story of the most infamous hangout for bandits, thieves and murderers of all time―and the lawmen tasked with rooting them out. Robbers Roost, Brown's Hole, and Hole-in-the-Wall were three hideouts that collectively were known to outlaws as “Bandit Heaven.” During the 1880s and ‘90s these remote locations in Wyoming and Utah harbored hundreds of train and bank robbers, horse and cattle thieves, the occasional killer, and anyone else with a price on his head. Clavin's Bandit Heaven: The Hole-in-the-Wall Gangs and the Final Chapter of the Wild West  (St. Martin's Press, 2024) is the entertaining story of these tumultuous times and the colorful characters who rode the Outlaw Trail through the frigid mountain passes and throat-parching deserts that connected the three hideouts―well-guarded enclaves no sensible lawman would enter. There are the “star” residents like gregarious Butch Cassidy and his mostly silent sidekick the Sundance Kid, and an array of fascinating supporting players like the cold-blooded Kid Curry, and “Black Jack” Ketchum (who had the dubious distinction of being decapitated during a hanging), among others. Most of the hard-riding action takes place in the mid- to late-1890s when Bandit Heaven came to be one of the few safe places left as the law closed in on the dwindling number of active outlaws. Most were dead by the beginning of the 20th century, gunned down by a galvanized law-enforcement system seeking rewards and glory. Ultimately, only Cassidy and Sundance escaped . . . to meet their fate 6000 miles away, becoming legends when they died in a fusillade of lead. Bandit Heaven is a thrilling read, filled with action, indelible characters, and some poignance for the true end of the Wild West outlaw. Tom Clavin is a bestselling author of 25 nonfiction books on American and military history, sports, and entertainment. His writing career began in journalism, as a roving reporter for The New York Times for 15 years as well as a contributor to national magazines including Smithsonian, Men's Journal, Parade, Reader's Digest, and Sports Illustrated. Along the way, he was awarded numerous prizes by the Society of Professional Journalists and National Newspaper Association.

Dr. Kemmet grew up on a farm near Tappen, ND where his father farms and runs a water/irrigation well drilling company.  His father jokes that he stayed in the family business drilling holes.  The rest of Dr. Kemmet's family, his mother and sister, are registered nurses.  It is easy to see why dentistry, with its hands-on, practical application to medicine was a draw to him with his solid North Dakota born and bred background!    Uniquely, Dr. Kemmet attended a boarding high school in West St. Paul, MN, St. Croix Lutheran High School, then received his degree in Chemistry from NDSU in Fargo.  He went on to receive his degree in Dental Surgery from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis in 2007.  Dr. Kemmet initially practiced in South Dakota for nearly 3 years with the Indian Health Service before joining a residency program in Oklahoma for an additional year after that.  He then moved back to Minneapolis for 2 years and worked for a large private practice group dental office, as well as for Children's Dental Services, a low-income high-need dental service where he practiced throughout the Minneapolis/St. Paul area in Head Start facilities, grade schools, and middle schools.    In 2012, Dr. Kemmet made the decision to move back “home” to North Dakota.  To him, Minot was the perfect blend of city and country. He purchased the dental practice of Dr. Curtis Kumpf, and within 18 months had relocated his practice, freshly redesigned by his friend Chris Hawley, to its current location in the heart of the Town & Country Center Mall.    Dr. Kemmet loves family time with his wife Grace and their three children, two dogs and cat. They are always finding ways to road trip for a hike in the mountains, fishing with his friends for charity, or finding a concert to attend. His life hobby has been prairie dog “hunting” which really is just long-distance precision shooting. They are currently enjoying gardening, home renovations, and anything else they can do together.  Professionally Dr. Kemmet doesn't seem to know the meaning of slowing down. He is always looking to advance not only his own knowledge, but the field of dentistry itself in the rapidly changing field of airway related dentistry and growth and development, where his passion lies. He has mentored classes at Spear Education in Scottsdale Arizona since 2010 in areas from same-day crowns with CEREC technology, to treatment planning, and now focusing on Airway.   In addition to running Kemmet Dental Design, Dr. Kemmet is working to change how dentistry is taught in ND. It was Dr Kemmet's vision of helping our community of dentistry in ND through increased access to dental hygiene and assistant training.  He believes we have just scratched the surface of where we need to be.  He has a goal to double our Nursing classes in Minot as well as triple our Dental Hygiene and assisting classes to help alleviate our national shortage and grow our community.  To accomplish this, he envisions a full dental hygiene clinic where extern dentists from regional dental schools can complete their training and current dental assistants and hygienists from other areas in our country can also learn expanded function dentistry. This would help alleviate the demand for dental services in west and northwest ND and help our city and state residents with the best care possible.  Fires start with a spark, and he has no shortage of fire in his passion for dentistry.  Marvel Comics has pitched a new superhero movie, though Dr Kemmet doesn't want anyone to think that this is fantasy.  It's for real life, as Bluey would say.

They accompany police to help inform someone of a loved one's death.One in four Americans have been visited by a chaplain, usually at a hospital or hospice, though chaplains also work in prisons, on college campuses and with the military and police and fire departments.But the role of spiritual caregiver is evolving as society becomes both less religious and more religiously diverse.At the end of last year, Fairview Health Services laid off more than a dozen staff chaplains as part of a larger round of layoffs, raising questions about whether patients' spiritual care will continue to be seen as part of a health system's core services.MPR News host Angela Davis talked with three chaplains about the work they do and how it's changing.
