Event Description: 

Loose and carefree, open and optimistic, the music on James Buckley’s new CD, “James Buckley Trio,” finds itself by taking it’s time. The trio – James, Bryan Nichols, and J. T. Bates – are not in a hurry: they explore without haste, and the payoff is that they achieve a sound that is spacious and natural, and never forced.

FORUM | Cut the Minneapolis Civil Rights Department's Complaint Investigation Unit?

By Ellen Frazel , TC Daily Planet

Should Minneapolis abolish the Complaint Investigation Unit of the city’s civil rights department? Read both sides of the argument. Then add your opinion.

“By almost any indicator, in terms of income, education, healthcare, and home ownership,” said Councilmember Robert Lilligren, “in Minneapolis, the gap between communities of color and white communities is greater than almost every city in the country. After such a robust civil rights movement in this city, that gap is still persistent, and it grows. I can only imagine that this gap exists because of discrimination.” MORE »

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Hmong Freedom Celebration and Sports Tournament Coming up this weekend! We’re looking for community input about the sports tournament, your experiences at the tournament, how it has changed over the years, what the gathering of Hmong from around the country and around the world means, and any other thoughts you might have about the weekend.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Background checks bar parks volunteers: Anonymous – It’s about risk management and liability. Imagine some volunteer working with the Park and Rec does something unspeakable to a child or vulnerable adult—it’s then discovered that this is part of a pattern—they’ve done this before, in a similar situation and were caught…It’s due diligence to figure out what these high-risk positions are and what the appropriate requirements should be.
