MADDIE GANNON HAS THE DETAILS ON WHAT FAMILIES SHOULD KNOW.

>> ON SATURDAY, JULY 4TH, OUR ADMINISTRATION DEPOSITED ONE TIME CONTRIBUTIONS OF $1,000 EACH INTO THE TRUMP ACCOUNTS OF OVER 500,000 AMERICAN CHILDREN.

>> Reporter: THE I.R.A.

STYLE INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR EVERY U.S.

CITIZEN WITH A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER UNDER 18, BUT ONLY CHILDREN BORN BETWEEN 2025 AND 2028 ARE ELIGIBLE TO GET THE 1 THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

FAMILY, FRIENDS, EMPLOYERS OF PARENTS, AND MORE CAN ADD FUNDS THROUGHOUT A CHILD'S LIFE.

>> THE AMERICAN DREAM BELONGS TO EVERY CHILD AND TODAY WE ARE EQUIPPING THE NEXT GENERATION WITH THE RIGHT TO CLAIM THEIR RIGHTFUL SHARE OF IT.

>> Reporter: THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT SAYS, MORE THAN 6 MILLION TRUMP ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN OPENED.

PARENTS CAN CREATE ONE BY SENDING A FORM TO THE IRS AND AN APP WILL ALLOW THEM TO TRACK INVESTMENTS.

WHEN THE CHILD TURNS 18, THEY CAN USE THE FUNDS, PENALTY-FREE FOR CERTAIN EXPENSES LIKE COLLEGE, BUYING A FIRST HOME, OR STARTING A BUSINESS.

TRUMP LOTTED THE ACCOUNTS AS A MIRACLE BUT SOME IN THE FINANCIAL WORLD HAVE RESERVATIONS.

>> MY ISSUE IS THAT IT'S GOING TO END UP BENEFITTING WEALTHIER FAMILIES, THOSE WHO CAN PUT IN THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED EVERY YEAR, WHICH IS $5,000.

>> Reporter: IN WASHINGTON, I'M MADDIE GANNON.

>> CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN ARE AUTOMATICALLY INVESTED IN A LOW-COST INDEX FUND DESIGNED FOR LONG-TERM GROWTH.

>> Reporter: EVAPORATION, CONDENSATION, PRECIPITATION, AND RUN OFF, THE WATER CYCLE IS TAUGHT TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS ALL OVER THE WORLD AND MINNESOTA IS NO EXCEPTION.

THE WE ARE WATER EXHIBIT TRAVELS AROUND THE STATE TO EDUCATE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES.

>> I THINK THIS ACTIVITY REALLY GETS PEOPLE THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT THEY DON'T THINK ABOUT OFTEN.

WE FIND THAT PEOPLE REALLY DON'T THINK ABOUT HOW WATER IS MOVING THROUGH OUR EARTH.

THEY JUST TURN THE FAUCET ON AND THEY'RE LIKE OH, THERE IS MY WATER.

SO, GETTING PEOPLE TO KIND OF REALIZE WHERE WATER GOES, HOW IT MOVES, AND KIND OF JUST THINKING ABOUT IT AND RESPECTING EVERYTHING THAT WATER DOES FOR US.

>> Reporter: MANY PIECES OF THE EXHIBIT HAVE MOVABLE PIECES AND ARE MORE THAN JUST READING OFF OF A POSTER.

BY ENCOURAGING INTERACTIVE LEARNING, THEY ARE HOPING TO HAVE A REALLY HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE FOR PEOPLE.

>> THE CLEAN WATER ACT IN 1972 CREATED A FRAMEWORK TO CLEAN MOST OF THOSE SOURCES UP, SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING IN THEIR EVERYDAY LIFE THAT IMPACTS OUR WATERWAYS.

>> IT'S INCREDIBLY GRATIFYING WHEN YOU SEE THE YOUNG KIDS GOING ON THE TOURS, THEY WANT TO LEARN OF THE CHIPMUNKS, THEY WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THE LOONS, THE EAGLES, IT HEARTENS YOU THAT THERE IS INTEREST IN PRESERVING THE NATURAL RESOURCES WE GOT.

IT'S FUNDAMENTAL.

EVERYBODY CAN SEE THE IMPACT OF THE WATER THAT THEY DRINK, BUT WHEN THEY'RE USING THE WATER IN DIFFERENT WAYS, ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IS CRITICAL.

>> Reporter: AND BY HOSTING THE PIECES AT ITASCA STATE PARK, THE GOAL IS TO SPREAD INFORMATION FAR BEYOND THE VISITORS AT THE LAKESIDE MUSEUM.

>> AS HUMANS, WE'RE MADE UP OF 70% WATER AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING IT DOES FOR US.

>> Reporter: THIS IS THE HEAD WATERS OF THE MISSISSIPPI, EVERYTHING WE DO FLOWS DOWN TO THE GULF OF MEXICO.

IT HAS AN INCREDIBLE IMPACT.

WHAT WE DO UPSTREAM IN THE WATERSHED, YOU KNOW, IN THE HEADWATERS OF THE MISSISSIPPI EFFECTS EVERYTHING DOWN.

IT ALL EFFECTS.

EVERYTHING WE DO UP HERE MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

>> Reporter: REPORTING FROM ITASCA STATE PARK, I'M SYDNEY DICK, LAKELAND NEWS.

OUR REPORTER XZAYVER CURRY HAS THE STORY.

>> Reporter: HOSTED BY AUTOMOTIVE INSTRUCTORS, IT'S DESIGNED FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS TO EXPLORE CAREERS IN TRANSPORTATION THROUGH HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES AND CHALLENGES.

>> THIS IS A REALLY GOOD WAY FOR OUR KIDS TO GET A HANDS-ON FUN EXERCISE AS TO HOW MECHANICS WORK.

R.C.

CARS DO HAVE A SIMILAR BUILD AND OPERATION TO OUR AUTOMOTIVE AND OUR POWER SPORTS INDUSTRY, LIKE OUR A.T.V.s AND OUR SIDE BY SIDES.

THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO GET THE KIDS EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING THEY CAN POSSIBLY LEARN ABOUT IN THE FUTURE.

>> Reporter: KIDS WERE ABLE TO PAINT AND FIX R.C.

CARS, WORK ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT, AND GAIN REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE IN THINGS LIKE AUTOMOTIVE, DIESEL, AND COLLISION REPAIR.

>> PAINTING THEIR OWN VEHICLES, REPAIR, BODY PANELS, ALL THINGS IN THE COLLISION AND AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY AREAS, AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT NEVER HAPPENS TO A REGULAR KID OR A REGULAR YOUTH OR PERSON.

FOR THEM TO SEE THAT BEHIND THE SCENES AND KNOW THE REAL TECHNICIANS AND THE OWNERS AND MANAGERS OF OUR INDUSTRY IS A KEY COMPONENT TO THEIR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE INDUSTRY AND THEIR POTENTIAL FUTURE.

>> Reporter: THE CAMP WAS CONCLUDED WITH A FINAL SHOWDOWN WHERE CAMPERS COMPETED IN A RACE TO SEE WHO HAD THE FASTEST TIME.

ALTHOUGH THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE CAMP WAS FOR THE KIDS TO LEARN ABOUT THE FUNDAMENTALS OF BUILDING AND MANAGING THEIR CARS, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME HAVING FUN.

>> I HOPE THAT STUDENTS TAKE AWAY FROM THIS CAMP THAT EXPERIENCE, THAT THEY CAN HAVE FUN DOING SOMETHING THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND IT CAN ALSO BE A CAREER.

THIS IS THE FOURTH RUNNING OF THIS CAMP AT CENTRAL LAKES COLLEGE, THE 11th YEAR OF IT BEING IN THE STATE.

THIS IS A VERY, VERY SPECIAL PART OF THE CAMPUS AND WHAT WE DO AS STAFF AND FACULTY TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY GROW UP AND HELP OUR COMMUNITY LEARN NEW THINGS.

LOOKING AT OUR EXTENDED FORECAST, WE HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY, ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING.

HIGHS NEAR 78.

QUIET AND 81 ON THURSDAY, THEN AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, WE DO HAVE SOME SMALL CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, MAINLY IN WESTERN MINNESOTA, AND TEMPERATURES START TO WARM UP ONCE AGAIN WITH HIGHS NEAR 88 ON SUNDAY.

WE HAVE THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THAT COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK.

[♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW YOUR LOCAL SPORTS WITH CHARLIE YAEGER.

[♪♪♪] >>> THE BIGGEST STORY OF THE WORLD CUP IN THE LAST 24-HOURS HAS BEEN FIFA'S SUSPENSION OF FOLARIAN BALOGUN'S ONE MATCH BAN DUE TO A RED CARD, ALLOWING THE STRIKER TO PLAY FOR THE UNITED STATES IN THE ROUND-OF-16 VERSUS BELGIUM.

THE DECISION HAS GARNERED REACTIONS RANGING FROM, JUSTICE SERVED TO DISGRACEFUL, BUT ONE WORD THAT EVERYONE AGREES DESCRIBES THE SITUATION IS UNPRECEDENTED, SINCE FIFA'S HAS NOT REVERSED A RED CARD MATCH-BAN AT THE WORLD CUP SINCE IN 1962.

AND DESPITE BELGIUM'S PLEAS, FIFA REJECTED THEIR CHALLENGE OF THE DECISION.

SO BALOGUN, BACK IN THE LINE-UP TONIGHT FOR THE U.S.A.

AS THEY TRY TO EXACT REVENGE ON BELGIUM FOR THEIR 2-1 LOSS IN THE ROUND-OF-16 AT THE 2014 WORLD CUP.

STARTING OFF IN THE 9th MINUTE.

THIS TIME, USING HIS HEAD, THEY TOOK A 2-1 LEAD TO THE HALF.

IT DID NOT GET BETTER FOR THE STARS AND STRIPES.

COMPLETE DISASTER, A GOAL YOU CAN'T GIVE UP, FRUSTRATION ABOUND FOR THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE.

THEY GET BOUNCED BY BELGIUM, 4-1.

>>> ALSO TODAY, SPAIN BEATS PORTUGAL, SO THAT IS WHO BELGIUM WILL BE PLAYING IN THE QUARTER FINALS AND THEY ARE MOVING ON.

>> Reporter: A BIG PART TO SELLING SEAFOOD IS EDUCATION, GENERAL MANAGER PAUL BURTON SAYS MANY WITHIN THE AREA COME IN EVERY DAY WITH QUESTIONS ON HOW TO BEST PREPARE SEAFOOD, HEALTH BENEFITS, AS WELL AS HOW TO INCORPORATE SEAFOOD INTO YOUR DIET.

>> WE'RE HERE TO GIVE YOU AN EXPERIENCE, WHETHER IT'S FROM BEING IN THE STORE, BUT ALSO TO LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT HOW TO PREPARE SOMETHING, WHERE THAT FISH OR SEAFOOD COMES FROM, AND MAYBE A LITTLE HISTORY LESSON ON IT BECAUSE OUR FAMILY HAS SUCH A BROAD HISTORY IN THE FISH AND SEAFOOD INDUSTRY.

>> Reporter: THEY OFFER SMOKED FISH, TO HERRING, TO SHELLFISH.

>> WE SOURCE FISH FROM EVERYWHERE.

PEOPLE THINK THAT IS WEIRD BECAUSE WE'RE IN NORTH-CENTRAL MINNESOTA.

BECAUSE OF SEMI-TRUCKS, AIR FREIGHT, WE CAN GET FISH FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

WE'RE KNOWN FOR THE SMOKED FISH BUT THAT HAS GROWN OVER THE YEARS.

WE HAVE A FOLLOWING FOR THE WALLEYE, SUNFISH, NORTHERN, LAKE TROUT, THINGS LIKE THAT.

>> Reporter: THEIR MISSION IS TO CARRY ON THE TRADITION OF BRINGING PREMIUM QUALITY PRODUCTS AND EXCELLENT SERVICE TO THE SEAFOOD INDUSTRY.

NOT ALL FISH ARE CREATED EQUAL AND MOREY'S AIMS TO BRING THE COMMUNITY THE BEST AVAILABLE.
