LAKELAND PBS IS PROUD TO PRESENT LAKELAND NEWS AT 10:00.

DENNIS WEIMANN WITH THE NEWS, STACY CHRISTENSON WITH THE WEATHER AND CHARLIE YAEGER WITH YOUR SPORTS.

>> Dennis: HI EVERYONE, THANKS FOR WATCHING TONIGHT.

>>> MANY COMMUNITIES IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA SAW SUBSTANTIAL RAINFALL TOTALS FROM YESTERDAYS STORMS.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAYS NEARLY 8 INCHES OF RAIN FELL NEAR TOWER MINNESOTA AND SEVERAL OTHER SPOTS SAW 4 TO 6 INCHES.

JUST BEFORE 10:00 LAST NIGHT, POLICE IN GILBERT WERE NOTIFIED OF A MAJOR WASHOUT EXPOSING CITY OF BIWABIK UTILITIES AND MINNESOTA ENERGY RESOURCES INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH SERVICE THE GIANT'S RIDGE AND VOYAGEURS RETREAT AREAS.

WHILE ASSESSING THE INITIAL WASHOUT, OFFICERS, AND MEMBERS OF THE BIWABIK FIRE DEPARTMENT LOCATED A LARGER WASHOUT WHICH SEVERED THE WATER SUPPLY TO THE GIANT'S RIDGE RECREATION AREA AND RESIDENCES IN VOYAGEURS RETREAT.

>> OH YEAH, PEOPLE EXPECT TO COME HERE FOR VACATION AND AROUND MIDNIGHT, THERE WAS NO WATER PRESSURE.

NOW WE'RE WORKING ON ALTERNATE SOURCES.

I BELIEVE THE LODGE AT GIANT'S RIDGE WAS CLOSE TO THE 50% OCCUPANCY AND THERE ARE STILL A FAIR AMOUNT OF GOLFERS TRYING TO ENJOY THE SUMMER.

>> HOPEFULLY WORKING WITH ENGINEERS AND TRYING TO GET THE SYSTEM BACK IN PLACE SOONER THAN LATER.

>> RIGHT THERE IS THE GAS LINE THAT IS INTACT.

IT SEEMS TO BE SECURE.

THEN DOWN BELOW THAT IS THE SEWER LINE.

THAT SEWER LINE IS MOSTLY INTACT AND THEN THE WATER LINE, WHICH YOU CAN'T SEE, IS COMPLETELY WASHED DOWN TOWARDS THE RIVER.

SO THAT IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF WATER SOURCE FOR EVERYTHING NORTH OF HERE.

>> OFFICIALS ARE CURRENTLY ADVISING A BOIL WATER ADVISORY FOR THE GIANTS RIDGE FOR DRINKING WATER.

WATER WAS EXPECTED TO BE RESTORED SOMETIME TONIGHT.

>>> SEVERAL OTHER AREA ALSO SAW SUBSTANTIAL RAINFALL FROM THE STORMS.

THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION HAD A DETOUR IN PLACE ON HIGHWAY 169 IN HIBBING.

NUMEROUS REPORTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA NOTED SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IN HIBBING.

MANY CITY STREETS WERE FLOODED WITH WATER MAKING ITS WAY INTO SOME HOMES AS WELL.

>> OUR WHOLE YARD WAS FLOODED.

AT LEAST UP PAST MY ANKLES, THE WHOLE THING CAME TO THE BACKDOOR.

WE THINK THAT'S WHERE IT LEAKED IN.

WE'RE GOING TO FIX THAT.

>> ST. LOUIS COUNTY OFFICIALS SAY THE COUNTY'S BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS IS EXPECTED TO APPROVE DISASTER RELIEF AT ITS MEETING NEXT WEEK.

43 ROADS IN ALL ARE CLOSED IN ST. LOUIS COUNTY.

>>> A CANADIAN WOMAN WHO ORIGINALLY FACED FIRST-DEGREE DRUG CHARGES AFTER BEING ARRESTED IN ROSEAU COUNTY BY CUSTOMS OFFICERS WITH 288 GRAMS OF COCAINE HAS HAD THAT FIRST DEGREE DRUG CHARGE DROPPED IN A PLEA AGREEMENT.

39-YEAR OLD KRYSTLE DE LEON OF WINNIPEG, MANITOBA WAS ORIGINALLY ARRESTED AT THE WARROAD POINT OF ENTRY ON MARCH 31ST.

SHE TOLD OFFICERS SHE WAS PAID TO DRIVE THE COCAINE WHICH HAD A STREET VALUE OF CLOSE TO $30,000 TO NESTOR FALLS ONTARIO.

AS PART OF THE DEAL, DE LEON PLEADED GUILTY THIS WEEK TO AN AMENDED CHARGE OF SECOND-DEGREE DRUG POSSESSION AND WAS GIVEN A 48-MONTH STAYED SENTENCE.

>>> THIS PAST SATURDAY, FORGOTTEN HEROES RANGES AND RETREAT HELD A FLAG-RAISING CEREMONY.

FLAGS FROM MINNESOTA AND THE UNITED STATES WERE BOTH RAISED.

BOTH FLAGS WERE FLOWN OVER THEIR RESPECTIVE CAPITALS.

REPORTER SAMMY HOLLADAY HAS MORE.

>> Reporter: THE FORGOTTEN HEROES RANGES AND RETREAT HAS BEEN HARD AT WORK SINCE 2021.

SEEING THE PROGRESS MADE ON WHAT WAS ONCE AN ILLEGAL DUMP HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY MOVING.

>> IT IS SO OVERWHELMING, SO EMOTIONAL TO SEE WHERE IT'S AT RIGHT NOW, IF YOU TOLD ME THREE YEARS AGO THIS IS WHERE WE WOULD BE RIGHT NOW, I WOULD HAVE LAUGHED.

I REALLY WOULD HAVE.

>> THERE WERE MANY OFFICIALS AT THE CEREMONY.

SENATOR AMY KLOBUCHAR AND TINA SMITH PRAISED THE WORK OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND THE TEAM AT FORGOTTEN HEROES TOWARDS BUILDING A PLACE WHERE DISABLED VETERANS AND CIVILIANS CAN COME TO FEEL WHOLE.

CONGRESSMAN PETE STAUBER HIGHLIGHTED HIM DURING HIS SPEECH TO THE AUDIENCE.

>> HE TALKED ABOUT THIS SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

HE MADE THIS A REALITY THROUGH HARD WORK, THE UPS AND DOWNS, THE OBSTACLES THAT CAME BEFORE YOU.

>> Reporter: HE FLEW AN AMERICAN FLAG OVER THE CAPITOL IN WASHINGTON D.C. AND STATE SENATOR ROB FARNSWORTH FLEW THE FLAG OVER ST. PAUL.

HAVING THESE SPECIAL FLAGS FLOWN IN HONOR OF FORGOTTEN HEROES AND THE SUPPORT FROM OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS SHOWS THE ADMIRATION FOR THIS PROJECT.

>> PEOPLE GO THEIR WHOLE LIVES AND THEY GO BUY A FLAG.

HOW MANY PEOPLE GET A FLAG DELIVERED TO THEM FROM THEIR STATE SENATOR AND THEIR U.S. REPRESENTATIVE.

I MEAN SENATOR KLOBUCHAR, SENATOR SMITH, I MEAN IT'S PRETTY HUMBLING.

♪ THROUGH THE PERILOUS FIGHT ♪ >> YOU WERE IN MY OFFICE TWO MONTHS AGO, WE WERE BOTH SHARING TEARS ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WERE PRESENTED HERE AT THIS FIRING RANGE AND TO ALL OF YOU, MAY YOU ENJOY THIS FOR MANY YEARS TO COME AND GOD BLESS THIS COUNTRY, THE MEN AND WOMEN IN THE MILITARY, AND OUR FAMILIES.

>> Reporter: WITH OVER 13,000 HOURS PUT IN BY THE BOARD AND COUNTLESS MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, FORGOTTEN HEROES IS WELL ON THEIR WAY TO MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE.

>> THIS AIN'T DEMOCRAT, THIS AIN'T REPUBLICAN, THIS AIN'T CATHOLIC, THIS AIN'T PROTESTANT, THIS AIN'T BLACK OR WHITE, THIS IS AMERICA.

WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT COME OUT AND GIVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN YOUR PROJECT, THIS IS SO HUMBLING AND YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

>> Reporter: THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROGRAM, IT WAS HARD TO KEEP YOUR EYES DRY AND WITH THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HERE, IT IS VERY APPARENT THIS COMMUNITY WILL NEVER LET THEIR HEROES BE FORGOTTEN.

THEY'RE TRYING TO ERASE BLACK HISTORY.

>> Reporter: VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS, WHO IS THE FIRST BLACK AMERICAN, FOR SOUTH ASIAN AMERICAN, AND FIRST WOMAN ELECTED TO THAT POSITION, USED THE STAGE TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GET OUT AND VOTE.

>>> SHAWN TWETEN, A MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST ORIGINALLY FROM BEMIDJI, RECENTLY ANNOUNCED HIS CANDIDACY FOR THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN MINNESOTA'S FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

OUR REPORTER MATTHEW FREEMAN SPOKE WITH TWETEN ON WHAT MADE HIM DECIDE TO ENTER THE LAND OF POLITICS, AND HOW HIS BACKGROUND AS A THERAPIST COULD BENEFIT WHAT HE BELIEVES IS HOUSE OF CHAOS.

>> Stacy:.

>> Reporter: SHAWN DECIDED TO DIP HIS TOE INTO POLITICS.

>> JUST SEEING HOW DYSFUNCTIONAL THE CURRENT CONGRESS IS, WITH LOW APPROVAL RATINGS AND YOU KNOW, WE HAD THE SENATOR CHALLENGE THE COMMITTEE WITNESS TO A FIGHT AND DIFFERENT HOUSE MEMBERS YELLING INSULTS BACK AND FORTH AT EACH OTHER DURING COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE THIS PAST YEAR, IT'S BEEN EVEN SAME PARTY MEMBERS FIGHTING BACK AND FORTH AMONGST THEMSELVES.

JUST SEEING SO MUCH CHAOS IN CONGRESS, IT PIQUES MY INTEREST.

>> Reporter: HE BELIEVES HIS BACKGROUND AS A MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST WILL BE A HUGE BENEFIT TO CONGRESS AND INFLUENCE THE MEMBERS TO THINK A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.

>> WHEN IT COMES TO A COUPLE OF FAMILIES, IT JUST TAKES ONE PERSON TO THINK DIFFERENTLY TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM AND CONGRESS IS JUST A LARGER SYSTEM.

SO IT'S THE SAME PRINCIPAL THAT WOULD APPLY, IT TAKES ONE, TWO, THREE PEOPLE THINKING DIFFERENTLY, APPROACHING THINGS DIFFERENTLY AND I WOULD LOVE TO BE A CATALYST TO HELP OTHERS THINK DIFFERENTLY.

YOU KNOW, IF I COULD GO INTO THE SYSTEM AND BECOME PART OF IT AND HOPEFULLY RECRUIT ONE OR TWO OTHER PEOPLE TO START THINKING DIFFERENTLY.

IT MIGHT NOT TAKE THAT LONG FOR THE ENTIRE SYSTEM TO START THINKING DIFFERENTLY.

>> Reporter: TWETEN BELIEVES IT WILL BRING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY TO CONGRESS INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON THE DIFFERENCES.

>> WHEN YOU COME FROM A SMALLER COMMUNITY, THERE IS A BIGGER SENSE OF RUNNING INTO PEOPLE THAT YOU DISAGREE WITH.

BEING FROM THE RURAL PARTS, I THINK THERE IS AN ATTITUDE OF WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER.

WE HAVE TO WORK WITH THE RESOURCES YOU ARE WITH AND BE POLITE TO YOUR NEIGHBORS.

HOPEFULLY THAT CAN RUB OFF TO WASHINGTON AND I WOULD LOVE TO COME AT IT FROM THE POINT OF VIEW ON WHAT WE HAVE COMMON AND FOCUSING ON WHAT WE HAVE DIFFERENT AND TRYING TO FUNDRAISE OFF WHAT WE HAVE DIFFERENT.

>> Reporter: REPORTING FROM LAKELAND NEWS, I'M MATTHEW FREEMAN.

[♪♪♪♪♪] >> Stacy: WELL, IT WAS A NICE QUIET WEATHER DAY ACROSS THE AREA TODAY, BUT AGAIN WE ARE FEELING THE IMPACTS OR THE HEAVY RAINFALL YESTERDAY.

THE HIGHEST TOTAL I'VE SEEN IN THE VIEWING AREA IS IN ITASCA, WITH 7.3 INCHES OF RAINFALL.

SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN YESTERDAY.

WE HAVE A FLOOD WARNING FOR PARTS OF THE VIEWING AREA INTO TOMORROW.

MAINLY QUIET, BUT THERE ARE CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE END OF THE WEEK.

IN BEMIDJI, IT'S 61 AT THE AIRPORT.

AT THE STUDIO, WINDS ARE CALM WITH A DEW POINT OF 48 AND HUMIDITY AT 62%.

IN BRAINERD, WE HAVE CLEAR SKIES AT 62 DEGREES, WITH A DEW POINT OF 53.

PRESSURE IS RISING AND WINDS ARE CALM.

A FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF NORTHEAST MINNESOTA UNTIL 4:00 P.M. ON THURSDAY.

WE ARE SEEING THE HEAVY RAINFALL LEADING TO A FLOODING OF RIVERS, CREEKS, STREAMS, AND OTHER FLOOD PRONE LOCATIONS.

NUMEROUS ROADS ARE CLOSED AND RIVERS ARE CONTINUING TO RISE.

SO FAR, IT'S BEEN FAIRLY QUIET ON THE RADAR.

WE HAVE SOME ACTIVITY IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEEING SOME RAIN SHOWERS AND SPRINKLES INTO NORTHEAST MINNESOTA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

THAT WILL BE THE CASE TOMORROW.

PLENTY OF SUNSHINE IN NORTHWEST MINNESOTA.

THAT WILL CHANGE AS WE HEAD INTO LATE TOMORROW AND TOMORROW NIGHT AS THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SPREADS INTO THE REST OF THE VIEWING AREA AND WE HAVE CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO END THE WEEK.

SOME WEATHER SHOTS TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT, GORGEOUS SUNRISE THIS MORNING IN MENAHGA.

ARLENE SENDING US THAT PHOTO AND SAMROSE CAPTURING THE SUN COMING UP OVER LOWER RED LAKE.

JOAN WITH A VISITOR, A DEER IN THE YARD IN LAPORTE.

WE HAVE ANGELA AT CASS LAKE WITH SOME REFRACTION IN THE CLOUDS.

WE CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A RAINBOW THERE IN THE CLOUDS.

THIS IS OF THE SUNSET AND THE BEAUTIFUL SUNSET FROM SARAH AT LAKE EDWARDS.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THOSE TONIGHT.

FOR OUR EAGLE EYES REPORT, ARLENE REPORTED 4 INCHES OF RAIN YESTERDAY, QUIETER TODAY.

BOB IN BLUFFTON, SUNNY WITH A HIGH OF 68.

ARLENE IN LONGVILLE, 69 FOR THE HIGH TEMPERATURE.

STEPHANIE IN BRAINERD, 0.5 INCHES OF RAIN OVERNIGHT LAST NIGHT.

ANGELA AT CASS LAKE, SUNNY SKIES WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN EARLY TODAY.

JOAN IN LAPORTE, MOSTLY SUNNY, A TOTAL OF 5 INCHES OF RAIN AND THE HIGH WAS 66.

ON OUR ALMANAC, WE TOPPED OUT AT 70.

SO IT'S COOLER THAN AVERAGE.

57 WAS OUR LOW.

BEMIDJI HAD A HIGH OF 68, SO COOLER TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE RAINFALL YESTERDAY, THE LOW WAS 49.

HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR FORECAST FOR TOMORROW.

WE WILL BE SEEING VARIABLE CLOUDS THROUGHOUT THE AREA WITH MORE SUNSHINE AS WE HEAD INTO NORTHWEST MINNESOTA, A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN DEVELOPING IN PARTS OF NORTHEAST MINNESOTA AROUND THE GRAND RAPIDS AREA.

HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE IN THE LOW TO MID-70s.

AS WE HEAD INTO THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE, LOW 70s, WE'LL HAVE A BIT MORE CLOUD COVER AND AGAIN A BETTER CHANCE OF SEEING RAINFALL TOMORROW, BUT EXPECT THE RAIN TO MOVE THROUGHOUT THE AREA LATE TOMORROW AND TOMORROW NIGHT.

SO HERE'S OUR FORECAST, PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND SPRINKLES, LOW OF 51.

WE'RE LOOKING AT THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN EASTERN AND CENTRAL MINNESOTA THROUGHOUT THE DAY TOMORROW, HIGH TEMPERATURES NEAR 73.

NOW THE SHOWERS AND EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE THROUGHOUT THE AREA TOMORROW NIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO THE END OF THE WEEK, A VERY GOOD CHANCE WE'RE SEEING MORE PRECIPITATION SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, HIGHS IN THE LOW 70s.

WE START TO WARM UP AS WE HEAD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, BUT THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

BACK TO YOU DENNIS.
