Nearly 60 percent of vehicles stolen in Minneapolis this year have been Hyundais or Kias, and St. Paul has seen the same pattern in one-third of auto thefts. Now, both car manufacturers are holding free mobile clinics in the coming days in the Twin Cities to upgrade software systems in their vehicles, which they say will make them harder to steal.David VandeLinde, Hyundai’s vice president of after sales, shows an anti-theft software sticker in Minneapolis on Nov. 9, 2023, that will be attached to vehicles during free anti-theft software installation clinics for Hyundai owners in Minneapolis on Nov. 10 and 11, and St. Paul on Nov. 12 and 13. (Mara H.

Here are some standouts among the submissions for MN’s new flag and seal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:31:20 GMT

Luis Fitch is currently mulling over loons, stars, lakes and other iconic symbols of Minnesota submitted in the search for our new state flag and seal.Soon, Fitch — the chair of the State Emblems Redesign Commission — will need to discuss his top 25 picks (for each category) at a commission meeting. There will be more winnowing to come, from semifinalists to finalists, with one flag design and one seal design ultimately selected on Dec. 12.Fitch is still working his way through the 398 submissions for the seal and he has some cutting to do for his initial picks among the 2,123 flag entries.“I have 110 for the flag,” Fitch said with a laugh on Thursday. “And that’s just me. We have a lot to choose from.”The flag and seal redesign process was mandated by the DFL-controlled state Legislature earlier this year.Proponents of the change say the main image on the current flag, dating to 1957, and the seal, adopted in 1861, is offensive. It shows a ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:31:20 GMT

Mr. Let’s Ride has been reduced to being just another passenger on the Broncos bus.Is quarterback Russell Wilson cool with that? If a reduced role bugs the team’s most expensive player, DangeRuss isn’t saying it.“I love it when our guys are making plays. I don’t really care who’s getting in the end zone. All that matters to me is our guys are making plays,”  Wilson said Wednesday. “I love winning. I’m obsessed with it. I love seeing everybody get the shine.”A Broncos team that once let Russ cook has told Wilson to take a step back in the kitchen.Less Russ.

Payback at hand as CU Buffs men’s basketball hosts rematch with Grambling State

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:31:20 GMT

It was a scattershot opening to the season that was the biggest culprit in relegating the Colorado men’s basketball team to the NIT last year.The entire uneven run through the first few weeks of the season was encapsulated in the Buffaloes’ first trip to Grambling State.In a sparsely attended contest in Louisiana, a mistake-prone Buffs squad ran into a fired-up Grambling State team, and the combination proved frustrating to CU in an 83-74 defeat.Payback has never been a big motivating point for CU head coach Tad Boyle as he gets rolling on his 14th season with the Buffs. But for the players on the floor last year during an ugly outing that featured 19 turnovers and a 5-for-21 mark on 3-pointers, the tone is a little different as Grambling State visits the Events Center on Friday night.“We’re all pretty amped up for this game just because of what happened last year,” CU forward J’Vonne Hadley said. “We know that we need this game. We know that we need to win the games we’re supposed ...
