For the top news briefs,

• (AP) A Northfield middle school teacher is accused of biting off part of a man's ear during a confrontation at a St. Paul diner. Prosecutors say 30-year-old Susan Mukuhi Mwarabu was drunk when she attacked the man at the Uptowner about 4 a.m. Sunday. A criminal complaint says the 33-year-old man was eating with friends when one made a comment about one of the women with Mwarabu. It says she approached the group of men, licked the victim's ear, then bit off part of it. Mwarabu teaches sixth grade at Northfield Middle School. School superintendent, Dr. Chris Richardson says in a statement: "The school district is just beginning its administrative investigation of the incident. At the time when the school district knows more, any ability of the school district to share additional information with the public will be subject to federal and state data privacy laws. Ms. Mukuhi Mwarabu has been placed on administrative leave pending the completion of the administrative investigation. The school district feels it is not appropriate to speculate on any formal action that could be taken prior to the completion of that investigation."
• Some local businesses along the west river walk are preparing for the worst as the Cannon River rises. KYMN's Law Review host, David Hvistendahl is an owner of Froggy Bottoms. He and several volunteers began flood-proofing yesterday. According to the National Weather Service, the river stands at a stage of about 21 feet as of this morning—that's an increase of around five feet since Saturday. The record stage for the Cannon in Northfield is just over 22 feet. A representative from the National Weather Service says it appears that the river is about at its crest in Northfield.
• The Raiders girls basketball team takes on Lakeville North at the state high school tournament tomorrow. A fan bus will be taking those interested in cheering on the team to Target Center in Minneapolis. The deadline to purchase a fan bus ticket is 3:30 today. The cost for riding the bus is $7—tickets to enter the game are $8. If you have any questions, or would like to reserve a spot, you can contact the high school activities office at 663-3456.

The Dundas Dukes announced an agreement with KYMN to broadcast at least 11 Dukes' games this summer.

The arrangement, a time-buy (in which the Dukes purchase the airtime from the station), will feature four games in both May and June and three in July. The station will likely also carry some of the team's playoff games in August.

"We're excited about this partnership," said incoming Dukes' manager Mike Ludwig.

The Dukes open the season on April 24 at Bay City before the home opener on April 25 against Stewartville-Racine.

• The Cannon River is rising and that's cause for concern for some local businesses along the river walk. KYMN's Law Review host, David Hvistendahl is an owner of Froggy Bottoms. He says volunteers are starting to help sandbag to flood-proof businesses along the walkway. Hvistendahl says other west-side business along the walk may also be in jeopardy of flooding, if the river continues to rise as rapidly as it has so far. KYMN will have continuing coverage of the rising Cannon as there are developments.

For the top news briefs,

• The Minnesota Supreme Court today will review whether Gov. Tim Pawlenty exceeded his authority when he used unallotment to cut $2.7 billion from the state budget. District 25 DFL senator Kevin Dahle says the case could have significant ramifications for the current legislative session, depending on the outcome. Governor Pawlenty's cuts to a nutritional program for the elderly and disabled prompted the lawsuit leading up to the Supreme Court case.

• City Council liaison to HRC, Rhonda Pownell

  You should receive your 2010 census form this week. Northfield City Council liaison to the Human Rights Commission, Rhonda Pownell says it's vital you fill out the form and return it. Specifically, Pownell says an accurate count is important in part because Minnesota stands to lose one of its US House seats if not enough Minnesotans are counted, and also because of the impact the counts have on federal funding for local programs. Pownell says you can fill out and return the form as soon as you receive it. She says the form only takes about ten minutes to fill out. 

• Carleton College has been named to the 2009 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. The honor is the highest federal recognition a college or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering, service-learning and civic engagement. The Corporation for National and Community Service administers the annual Honor Roll award, recognizing more than 700 colleges and universities for their impact on issues from poverty and homelessness to environmental justice. Honorees are chosen based on the scope and innovation of service projects, percentage of student participation in service activities, and the extent to which the school offers academic service-learning courses. In 2009, more than 3 million students performed roughly 300 million hours of service, according to the Volunteering in America study released by the Corporation. The Corporation oversees the Honor Roll in collaboration with the Department of Education, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Campus Compact and the American Council on Education.

In this episode, hosts Allie (Shady) Lane, C-Goody, Antsy Adams (appearing in person for once in his life), and Kev-E-Fly continue to do what they are moderately successful at doing: spinning an eclectic mix of tunes and delivering news you can use.News topics include how to prioritize after you've delivered a baby in your laundry room, how to encourage students to do well in school, what not to do if you break into a church, and the appropriate reaction to running over your husband….twice.  The gang also discusses The Midnight Knitter as well as two recent developments from the animal kingdom.

Professor Antsy Adams also drops some knowledge with a history lesson, Kev-E-Fly reveals his disdain for St. Patrick's Day, and everyone learns that they can't come to a decision on what two songs to play as a group.
