[♪♪♪] >> Dennis: HI EVERYONE, THANKS FOR WATCHING TONIGHT.

>>> TODAY MARKS NINE YEARS SINCE THE TRAGIC HOMICIDE THAT CLAIMED THE LIFE OF A 43-YEAR-OLD LITTLE FALLS MAN.

TERRY BRISK WAS MURDERED WHILE HUNTING ON HIS PARENT'S PROPERTY ON NOVEMBER 7TH OF 2016.

THE MORRISON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE CONTINUES TO ASK FOR THE PUBLIC'S ASSISTANCE IN SOLVING THIS CASE.

BRISK, AN AVID OUTDOORSMAN, WAS FATALLY SHOT WITH HIS OWN RIFLE WHILE DEER HUNTING.

BASED ON EVIDENCE AT THE SCENE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SUSPECT WAS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO BRISK, AND IT IS BELIEVED THAT BRISK AND THE SUSPECT WOULD HAVE INTERACTED PRIOR TO THE HOMICIDE TAKING PLACE.

THIS CASE REMAINS OPEN AND ACTIVE.

THERE IS STILL A $30,000 REWARD FOR ANY INFORMATION THAT LEADS TO AN ARREST AND CONVICTION OF THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR TERRY BRISK'S MURDER.

PLEASE CONTACT THE MORRISON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE WITH ANY INFORMATION YOU MAY HAVE AT 320-632-9233.

ANOTHER OPTION IS TO REPORT THIS CASE ANONYMOUSLY TO CRIME STOPPERS OF MINNESOTA AT THEIR WEBSITE WWW.CRIMESTOPPERSMN.ORG BY CALLING THEIR TOLL FREE NUMBER 1-800-233-TIPS (8477) FROM ANYWHERE IN MINNESOTA OR BY INSTALLING A SUBMIT A TIP APP ON ANY SMART PHONE, OR BY SENDING A TEXT MESSAGE BEGINNING WITH TIP674 TO CRIMES (274637).

>>> THE RAIL CORRIDOR DISTRICT IN BEMIDJI WILL LOOK VERY DIFFERENT BY THE END OF 2026.

NOT ONLY WITH THE NEW YMCA FACILITY COMING TO THE AREA, AND THE 98-ROOM MARRIOTT HOTEL AND EVENT CENTER.

BUT THE BELTRAMI COUNTY HISTORY CENTER IS ALSO COMPLETELY REDESIGNING THEIR PERMANENT EXHIBITS AFTER RECEIVING A MASSIVE PRIVATE GRANT.

THE HISTORY CENTER SAYS, THE REDESIGN WILL INCORPORATE SECURE YET FLEXIBLE EXHIBITION SYSTEMS, ENABLING THE MUSEUM TO ROTATE AND DISPLAY SIGNIFICANTLY MORE ITEMS FROM ITS COLLECTION OF OVER 1 MILLION ARTIFACTS.

THE NEW EXHIBIT WILL HAVE A FOCUS ON CREATING INTERACTIVE, FAMILY-FRIENDLY SPACES THAT DISPLAY BELTRAMI COUNTY'S HISTORY.

>> OUTSIDE INVESTMENTS SHOWS CONFIDENCE IN THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPPORT WILL DEMONSTRATE PRIDE IN BELTRAMI COUNTY ITSELF.

MINNESOTA RECOGNIZES PUBLIC INVESTMENTS IN HISTORY AS A CIVIC DUTY EVEN BEFORE STATEHOOD AND THAT TRADITION REMAINS VITAL TODAY.

>> THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE GRANT HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED AT THIS TIME.

INSTALLATION OF THE NEW EXHIBITS IS SLATED FOR THE END OF 2026, AROUND THE SAME TIME THE NEW YMCA FACILITY PLANS TO OPEN ITS DOORS.

>>> THE COMMISSION ON JUDICIAL SELECTION ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT IT IS RECOMMENDING THREE CANDIDATES FOR CONSIDERATION TO FILL A VACANCY IN MINNESOTA'S SEVENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT.

>>> DELAYS AND UNCERTAINTY FOR MANY TRAVELERS TODAY AMID AIR TRAFFIC CUTS AT CORE AIRPORTS AS THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN NOW ENTERS DAY 38.

MARYBEL GONZALEZ IS TRACKING WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IF YOU ARE FLYING AND TIPS TO HELP YOU OUT ON YOUR JOURNEY.

>> WE'RE HOPING FOR THE BEST, BUT YOU KNOW, WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THAT.

>> Reporter: THE FEDERAL AERIAL ADMINISTRATION ORDERED A REDUCTION IN DOMESTIC FLIGHTS, STARTING WITH A 4% CUT FRIDAY AS THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN CONTINUES.

THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION CITING SAFETY AS THE DRIVER FOR THE AIR SPACE CLOSURE.

>> WE'RE TRYING TO PREVENT THE PRESSURE WE SEE BUILDING IN THE SYSTEM.

>> Reporter: AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS, AMONG THOSE BEARING THE BRUNT OF THE SHUTDOWN, NOW WEEKS WITHOUT PAY, MANY ARE CALLING IN SICK AND SOME ARE EVEN RESIGNING ACCORDING TO THEIR UNION LEADER.

>> THEY'RE CALLING IN SAYING I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH GAS TO GET TO WORK TO THEIR EMPLOYER, TO THEIR SUPERVISOR OR MANAGER, AND SAYING WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

>> Reporter: SEVERAL MAJOR AIRLINES CANCELED HUNDREDS OF FLIGHTS SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND.

PASSENGERS AFFECTED WILL RECEIVE A REFUND FOR THEIR CANCELED FLIGHTS.

MEANWHILE, TRAVEL EXPERTS ARE URGING PATIENCE.

>> THE MORE PEOPLE ARE PREPARED, THE MORE THEY ARE INFORMED AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON, THE BETTER.

>> Reporter: IF YOU ARE JETTING OFF THIS WEEKEND, DOWNLOAD YOUR AIRLINE'S APP AND TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS.

THAT'S HOW YOU FIND OUT IF YOUR AIRLINE HAS CANCELED OR DELAYED.

>> Reporter: HAVE A PLAN B IN PLACE ALREADY BEFORE THERE IS A CANCELATION.

I'M MARYBEL GONZALEZ REPORTING.

>> ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE FLIGHT AWARE, AS OF THIS EVENING THERE WERE 38 FLIGHTS CANCELLED AT MINNEAPOLIS-ST.

PAUL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND 77 DELAYS.

>>> CROW WING COUNTY LOOKED AT POTENTIAL ORDINANCE UPDATES DURING LAST WEEK'S MEETING.

ONE IN WHICH CONCERNS RESORTS SELLING SHARES.

CROW WING COUNTY LAND SERVICES DEPARTMENT ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES MANAGER CHRIS PENCE SAY'S THE COUNTY HAS ALLOWED PERSONAL USE OF A GIVEN RESORT TO BE LIMITED TO 42 DAYS A YEAR.

THAT 42-DAY LIMIT HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR ROUGHLY TWO DECADES WITHIN THE COUNTY.

THE COUNTY DEFINES RESORT TRADITIONALS, AS BEING ABLE TO BE PROVIDED FOR RENTAL MORE THAN 50-PERCENT OF THE TIME DURING THEIR OPERATIONAL SEASON.

THIS IS A MODEL MULTIPLE RESORTS WITHIN THE COUNTY HAVE BASED THEIR BUSINESS AROUND TO DATE.

(.

>> AS WE HAVE DONE SOME DISCUSSIONS AND HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH AREA RESORTS, I'M NOT SURE IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE COUNTY IS CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THE RESORT DECIDES TO USE IT AS FAR AS PERSONAL USE, AS LONG AS THEY'RE OPERATING MORE THAN 50% A YEAR, THE ASPECT OF SELF SHARES AND IT'S NOTHING THAT THE COUNTY HAS TO BE INVOLVED IN.

>> CROW WING COUNTY IS CURRENTLY ACCEPTING PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE MATTER THROUGH THE END OF NOVEMBER.

>>> SINCE 2016 MORE THAN 100 COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE WORKERS HAVE GATHERED TO SHARE RESOURCES AND SEE MANY KEYNOTE PRESENTERS FROM AROUND THE STATE.

THIS YEAR'S CONFERENCE WAS HOSTED BY NORTHWEST TECHNICAL COLLEGE AND THE MINNESOTA COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE WORKER ALLIANCE.

IT TOOK PLACE THIS WEEK IN BEMIDJI, WITH THE THEME BOOTS ON THE GROUND FROM ALL AROUND.

16 BREAKOUT SESSIONS AND KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS HAPPENED OVER TWO DAYS, INCLUDING DISCUSSIONS LED BY SIX N.T.C.

GRADUATES.

FOCUSES WERE ON EVERYTHING FROM UNPACKING CERTAIN STIGMAS, SUCH AS AROUND SUBSTANCE ABUSE OR MENTAL HEALTH, TO BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS SURROUNDING CHRONIC DISEASES.

BUT ONE MAIN IDEA THAT THREAD THROUGH MANY OF THE SESSIONS WAS BRINGING COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE WORKERS TOGETHER TO SHARE RESOURCES FROM ALL OVER MINNESOTA.

>> REALLY THE IDEA IS THAT WE CONNECT, STRENGTHEN, AND AFTERNOON FIE THOSE IN PUBLIC HEALTH, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, NON-PROFITS TO DO HEALTH EQUITY WORK.

COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, IT'S TO FIND A BARRIER THAT EXISTS AND HELP PEOPLE EITHER OVERCOME THAT BARRIER OR FIND MORE COMMUNITY-BASED SOLUTIONS TO ALLEVIATE THAT BARRIER.

>> EVERYTHING GOES HAND IN HAND.

I THINK AS CHWs, WE CAN WORK MORE TO MAKE THE CONVERSATION AROUND MENTAL HEALTH MORE NORMALIZED WITH OUR CLIENTS.

THIS IS ALL OVER THE STATE.

WHITE EARTH IS UNIQUE WHERE WE ARE KIND OF A, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OUR PROGRAMS THERE AND EVERYTHING, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR OTHER AREAS IN THE STATE TO LEARN WHERE THEIR RESOURCES ARE FOR MENTAL HEALTH, WHERE THEIR CRISIS RESOURCES ARE.

>> THERE ARE COMMUNITY HEALTH RESOURCES ALL OVER MINNESOTA, AND THE FULL LIST OF ORGANIZATIONS AND SPONSORS INVOLVED IN THIS YEAR'S EVENT CAN BE FOUND ON THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE WORKERS CONFERENCE 2025 WEBSITE.

>>> SAVE THE BOUNDARY WATERS IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT AIMS TO PROTECT THE OVER ONE MILLION ACRES OF LAKES, STREAMS, AND FORESTS ALONG THE MINNESOTA AND CANADIAN BORDER.

LAST NIGHT THE GROUP HELD A MEETING AT BRAINERD'S NORTHLAND ARBORETUM TO INFORM PEOPLE ABOUT HOW THEY CAN ADVOCATE FOR THE AREA.

THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES PROPOSED MINING PROJECTS ON THE EDGE OF THE BOUNDARY WATERS COULD THREATEN THE PRISTINE NATURE OF THE AREA.

AND THAT MINING WOULD PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE ECOSYSTEM AND ALL OF THE STREAMS, RIVERS, AND LAKES THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE BOUNDARY WATERS.

>> IT POLLUTES ANYWHERE IT'S DONE AND WE HAVE A WATER-RICH ENVIRONMENT ALL ACROSS MINNESOTA, YOU KNOW, HERE AS WELL, IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA, AND IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA, THOSE WATERWAYS FLOW EVERYWHERE.

THIS POLLUTION CAN FLOW DOWNSTREAM, ALONG THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER, TO THE NATIONAL PARK.

>> THE BOUNDARY WATERS IS THE MOST VISITED WILDERNESS IN THE COUNTRY, DRAWING IN OVER 150,000 PEOPLE IN 2024.

[♪♪♪] >> STILL TO COME ON LAKELAND NEWS AT 10:00.

>> Stacy: WE MAY SEE A BIT OF LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRIES ACROSS THE AREA AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE COLDER AIR BEGINS TO SETTLE IN, MOST OF US ARE ONLY SEEING HIGHS IN THE 20s AND 30s.

I'LL HAVE YOUR FORECAST IN A FEW MINUTES.

>> COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK WITH THIS WEEK'S IN FOCUS, WE'LL GIVE YOU A DEVASTATING INSIDE LOOK AT THE PRODUCTION OF THE ADAMS FAMILY.

[♪ [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW MORE NEWS WITH DENNIS WEIMANN.

[♪♪♪] >>> THE FIREARMS DEER HUNTING OPENER IS TOMORROW AND NEARLY HALF A MILLION MINNESOTAN'S ARE EXPECTED TO TAKE PART.

STATE OFFICIALS SAY AROUND 400,000 PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO BUY LICENSES TO HUNT DEER THIS YEAR.

BUT D.N.R.

OFFICIALS SAY HUNTERS WILL HAVE MORE SUCCESS IN SOME PORTIONS OF THE STATE THAN OTHERS.

>> DEER POPULATIONS IN THE NORTHEAST REGION OF MINNESOTA REMAIN LOW.

THE BEST HARVEST OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE REGION.

SCOUTING WILL GO A LONG WAY AS WELL.

HUNTERS SHOULD FOCUS ON SCOUTING AREAS MIXED WITH OPEN FIELD AND VARIOUS AGE CLASSES OF TREES.

THEY EXPERIENCED A SECOND CONSECUTIVE MILD WINTER.

NUMEROUS REPORTS WERE GIVEN OUT THAT DOES PRODUCED TWINS OR TRIPLETS THIS SPRING AND EARLY SUMMER.

MANY D. P.A.s OFF TWO OR THREE HARVESTS.

DEER POPULATIONS REMAIN ROBUST IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA.

MANY D.P.A.s IN THIS REGION, HUNTERS CAN PICK THREE TO FIVE DEER, DEPENDING ON THE ZONE.

>> LAST YEAR HUNTERS SHOT MORE THAN 170,000 DEER, UP 3 PERCENT FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR BUT 3 PERCENT LOWER THAN THE FIVE-YEAR AVERAGE.

>>> THE MINNESOTA D.N.R.

IS ASKING HUNTERS AND OTHER RECREATIONISTS SPENDING TIME OUTDOORS THIS FALL TO REPORT THE LOCATIONS OF BEAR DENS THEY ENCOUNTER IN AND AROUND THE BRAINERD, GRAND RAPIDS AND DULUTH AREAS.

BEAR RESEARCHERS WITH THE D.N.R.

AND UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA DULUTH HOPE TO FIT ADDITIONAL BEARS WITH G.P.S.

TRACKING COLLARS THIS WINTER.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO DOCUMENT BEAR MOVEMENTS ON THE LANDSCAPE, BOTH RURAL AND URBAN, AND ASSESS THE AGE OF FIRST REPRODUCTION IN THESE STUDY AREAS.

ANYONE FINDING A DEN IN ANY OF THE THREE AREAS SHOULD OBTAIN A G.P.S.

LOCATION AND CALL D.N.R.

BEAR RESEARCH IN GRAND RAPIDS AT 218-328-8879 OR 218-328-8874.

HAVING PICTURES, FROM A SAFE DISTANCE, IS ALSO HELPFUL.

THE MINNESOTA D.N.R.

HAS COLLARED AND STUDIED BEARS FOR DECADES IN THE CHIPPEWA NATIONAL FOREST AND THE BRAINERD AREA TO ASSESS SURVIVAL, REPRODUCTION AND MOVEMENT.

THEY SAY ASSESSING THE AGE OF FIRST REPRODUCTION IS CRITICAL TO KEEPING TABS ON THE BEAR POPULATION AND EFFECTIVELY SET HARVEST QUOTAS.

THIS AGE APPEARS TO BE CHANGING IN SOME AREAS OF MINNESOTA, AND THE D.N.R.

IS LOOKING TO UNDERSTAND HOW AND WHY.

>>> TIME FOR WEATHER, OF COURSE THE DEER HUNTING OPENER IS TOMORROW AND IT SHOULD BE COOL IN THE MORNING.

>> Stacy: IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE CHILLY, THE WHOLE WEEKEND IS LOOKING TO BE ON THE COOL SIDE, HIGHS IN THE 20s AND 30s.

WE COULD SEE LOWS DROPPING INTO THE TEENS.

SOME OF US COULD ALSO SEE LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRY ACTIVITY, AND THAT WILL AMOUNT TO PROBABLY NOT ANYTHING, BUT WE COULD SEE SOME [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW THE WEATHER WITH STACY CHRISTENSON.

[♪♪♪] >> Stacy: WELL, MANY OF US SAW SOME LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRIES EARLIER TODAY, NOTHING STICKING ON THE GROUND, BUT AGAIN A LITTLE BIT OF SNOWFALL.

AS THE COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THE STATE FOR THE WEEKEND, WE COULD SEE LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRIES ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MINNESOTA THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND, HIGHS IN THE 20s AND 30s, OVERNIGHT LOWS DROPPING INTO THE TEENS IN MANY LOCATIONS, BUT WE WILL START TO SEE WARMING TEMPERATURES AS WE HEAD INTO TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.

RIGHT NOW IN BEMIDJI, IT'S 28 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT.

AT OUR STUDIO, WE HAVE AN EAST WIND AT 4 MILES PER HOUR, 18 IS OUR DEW POINT, AND HUMIDITY IS AT 65%.

IN BRAINERD, WE HAVE CLOUDY SKIES, 35 DEGREES, 21 IS OUR DEW POINT, AND WE HAVE 56% HUMIDITY, NORTH WINDS AT 10 MILES PER HOUR.

ON OUR SATELLITE AND RADAR, AGAIN WE HAVE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF CLOUD COVER IN THE AREA THIS EVENING.

THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEEING SOME SNOW ACTIVITY DEVELOPING AROUND LAKE OF THE WOODS, INTO FAR NORTH-CENTRAL MINNESOTA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE WILL BE SEEING PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ACROSS THE AREA.

A FEW AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRIES AGAIN TOMORROW, BUT OVERALL, IT LOOKS LIKE THE ACCUMULATING SNOW IS GOING TO BE MISSING US.

WE WILL SEE COLDER TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA.

WE HAVE A VIDEO SENT TO US FROM SHARON, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF BALD EAGLES AND CROWS ENJOYING A FEAST THERE.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT TONIGHT.

SAMROSE SENDING US THIS PICTURE OF THE WAVES ON LOWER RED LAKE TODAY.

ANGELA SAYING THE CLOUDS LOOK LIKE STEPS AT CASS LAKE.

WE DO HAVE A PRETTY SUNSET FROM LAURIE, TAKING THIS PICTURE.

GARY WITH SOME REFLECTING SUN ON THE LAKE AS WELL.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THOSE TONIGHT.

FOR OUR EAGLE EYES REPORTS, BOB IN BLUFFTON, CLOUDY WITH A HIGH OF 37.

ARLENE IN LONGVILLE, CLOUDY AND BREEZY TODAY, TOPPING OUT AT 40.

ANGELA AT CASS LAKE, CLOUDY WITH A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW, BUT MELTING ABOUT AS QUICKLY AS IT FELL AND THE HIGH TODAY WAS 37.

TAKING A LOOK AT OUR ALMANAC, IN BRAINERD TODAY, WE TOPPED OUT AT 42, VERY CLOSE TO OUR AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE.

33 WAS OUR LOW AND WE HAD SUNRISE AT 7 MINUTES AFTER 7:00.

BEMIDJI TOPPING OUT AT 35, SO WE DID FALL 5 DEGREES SHY OF OUR AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE.

27 WAS OUR LOW, AND SUNSET TONIGHT WAS AT 4:53.

SO AS WE LOOK AT TOMORROW'S FORECAST, WE WILL BE SEEING WHAT LOOKS LIKE CLOUD COVER ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.

WE ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES DEVELOPING NOW AND AGAIN.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATION, JUST A SMALL CHANCE THAT A LITTLE BIT COULD ACCUMULATE AROUND THE LAKE OF THE WOODS AREA AND NORTHEAST MINNESOTA LATE TOMORROW.

AS FAR AS OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES GO, WE ARE LOOKING AT UPPER 20s IN NORTHWEST MINNESOTA, WITH LOW 30s ACROSS THE REST OF THE NORTH, AND IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA, TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE IN THE 30s FOR OUR HIGHS.

SO OUR FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, A LIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW OR FLURRIES AROUND NORTH-CENTRAL MINNESOTA, 20 DEGREES FOR OUR LOW, AND FOR TOMORROW, PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY, BUT WE MAY SEE SOME SCATTERED FLURRIES, A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT SNOW HERE AND THERE ACROSS THE AREA.

HIGH TEMPERATURES NEAR 31.

LOOKING AT OUR EXTENDED FORECAST, IT IS GOING TO STAY COOL AS WE HEAD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

AGAIN, THERE IS THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF SOME SNOWFALL SUNDAY MORNING AROUND LAKE OF THE WOODS, HIGHS WILL BE NEAR 32, A LOW OF 18.

33 ON MONDAY, BUT WE ARE GOING TO SEE SOME WARMING TEMPERATURES TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS THE HIGHS CLIMB BACK INTO THE LOW 40s AND WE WILL BE SEEING PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES.

BACK TO YOU.

>> Dennis: CHARLIE IS HERE NOW WITH OUR SPORTS.

A BIG HOCKEY WEEKEND FOR BSU.

>> Charlie: YES, THE MEN AND WOMEN'S TEAM RETURNED HOME TO PLAY SOME GAMES.

THE MEN HAVE BEEN PLAYING WELL, UNBEATEN IN CCHA PLAY SO FAR.

WE HAVE THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM THAT AND MORE STATE FOOTBALL COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK.

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

[♪♪♪] >>> THROUGH THEIR FIRST TWO WEEKS OF CCHA PLAY, BSU MEN'S HOCKEY HAS PUT TOGETHER A FIVE-AND-FOUR-POINT WEEKEND RESPECTIVELY.

THIS WEEKEND, THEY'D LIKE TO SNAG ALL 6-POINTS WHEN WELCOME LAKE SUPERIOR STATE TO THE SANFORD CENTER.

A TALL ORDER CONSIDERING THE BEAVERS HAVE SPLIT 5 OF THEIR LAST 6-SERIES WITH THE LAKERS, BUT A VICTORY TONIGHT WOULD GET THEM HALFWAY THERE.

SECOND PEARLED -- PERIOD, RILEY FINDS IT THROUGH TRAFFIC AND MAKES IT 1-0.

RAERT -- LATER IN THE PERIOD, TURNOVER LEADS TO A SHORTY FOR THE LAKERS.

CARTER UNASSISTED, KNOTS THE GAME AT 1.

BEAVS ARE STILL ON THE POWER PLAY AND REGAINING THE LEAD, BEMIDJI STATE TACKED ON TWO MORE IN THE THIRD TO WIN.

BEAVERS REMAIN UNBEATEN AND ONLY SURRENDERED 11 SHOTS ON GOAL.

THEY ARE PLAYING GOOD HOCKEY RIGHT NOW.

>>> BSU WOMEN'S HOCKEY COMING OFF A 2-POINT WEEKEND, HOSTING 14TH RANKED SAINT THOMAS, BEAVERS HAVE HAD THE TOMMIES NUMBER LATELY, GOING 5-1-1 IN THEIR LAST 7-MEETINGS.

AND FOUR MINUTES IN, IT LOOKED LIKE THAT MIGHT CONTINUE, KATE JOHNSON TO MORGAN SMITH, SHE LIGHTS THE LAMP FOR A 1-0 LEAD, BUT HOLD ON A SECOND.

THEY GO TO A REVIEW FOR OFFSIDES, AND THEY SAY JOHNSON, WHO BROUGHT THE PUCK INTO THE OFFENSIVE ZONE, CROSSED THE BLUE LINE WITH BOTH SKATES BEFORE THE PUCK DID, SO THEY RULE NO GOAL.

BUT HERE'S WHAT THE NCAA RULE BOOK SAYS, A PLAYER CONTROLLING THE PUCK WHO CROSSES THE LINE AHEAD OF THE PUCK SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED OFF-SIDE, PROVIDED THE PLAYER HAD POSSESSION AND CONTROL OF THE PUCK PRIOR TO THE PLAYER'S SKATE CROSSING THE LEADING EDGE OF THE BLUE LINE.

DID SHE CONTROL THE PUCK?, OFFICIALS DEEMED NO, AND THEN FIVE MINUTES LATER, TOMMIES TAKE A 1-0 LEAD, CHLOE BOREEN WITH THE GOAL.

BEMIDJI STATE WOULD KEEP IT CLOSE BUT A 3-GOAL THIRD PERIOD BY SAINT THOMAS DID THEM IN, 5-0 THE FINAL.

WOMEN'S COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL, BEMIDJI STATE SWEPT 3-0.

>>> WELL, AFTER A DECADE OF DOMINANCE IN THE 2010'S, THAT INCLUDED 8 STATE APPEARANCES AND THREE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS, PIERZ FOOTBALL IS FINALLY BACK IN THE STATE PLAYOFFS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE 20'S.

THEY LEFT NO DOUBT IN THE SECTION TITLE GAME, KNOCKING OFF LAST YEAR'S CHAMPS, PEQUOT LAKES, 35-0.

BUT HERE IN THE CLASS 3-A STATE QUARTERFINALS, THE PIONEERS ARE FACED WITH ANOTHER PERENNIAL POWER AS OF LATE, DILWORTH-GLYNDON-FELTON, WHO HAS APPEARED AT STATE 3 OF THE LAST 4 YEARS.

THE REBELS SHOWCASED THAT EXPERIENCE, ALREADY UP 14-0 IN THE THIRD QUARTER.

JACOB, 40 YARDS PAST, MAKES IT 21-0, THE MOST THE PIONEERS HAVE ALLOWED ALL SEASON.

NOW PIERZ NEEDING A STOP AND THEY GET IT ON FOURTH DOWN.

LOGAN COMES UP WITH THE TACKLE ON THE LINE, ENSUING PLAY FOR THE PIONEERS, LIAM TRYING TO GET THE PASSING GAME GOING AND HE GETS IT GOING IN A BIG WAY.

52-YARD CONNECTION WITH BRADEN PUTS PIERZ ON THE BOARD, BUT IT WAS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE AS THEIR SEASON COMES TO AN END AT THE HANDS OF DGF, 28-7.

>>> IN THE CLASS A QUARTER FINALS, TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE BANK, NO SCORE THROUGH ONE QUARTER.

NOW THEY DO SOMETHING THEY DON'T OFTEN DO, GO TO THE AIR AND THE PATRIOTS KEEP IT SCORELESS.

AFTER FORCING A PUNT, THE THUNDERBIRDS TRY THE SKY AGAIN AND NOW THE RUNNING BACK THROWS IT TO BLAKE, WHO IS HIDING BEHIND THAT WALL.

MAYBE THAT'S HOW HE GOT OPEN, I DON'T KNOW.

7-0.

THEN UP 10-0 IN THE THIRD, TANNER BREAKS LOOSE, 59 YARDS, AND HE CAN KEEP RUNNING ALL THE WAY TO U.S.

BANK STADIUM.

THEY HOLD ON TO WIN 17-8.

THEY WILL PLAY NEXT SATURDAY, WHO HAS WON THE LAST THREE STATE TITLES IN A ROW AND THEY HAVEN'T LOST A GAME SINCE 2022.

A TALL ORDER THERE.

>>> IN GIRLS VOLLEYBALL, NEVIS FALLS.

GRAND RAPIDS, THEY LOSE.

IN GIRLS HOCKEY, I CAN'T BELIEVE GIRLS HOCKEY STARTED UP.

LAKEVILLE WINS IN OVERTIME.

ROSEAU GETS THE WIN OVER THIEF RIVER FALLS.

WARROAD BEATS PROCTOR HERMANTOWN TO START THEIR SEASON.

THIS WAS YESTERDAY, BRAINERD LITTLE FALLS BEAT BUFFALO TO KICK OFF THEIR SEASON.

TONIGHT, THE MINNESOTA WILD BEAT THE ISLANDERS.

THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES, A HUGE WIN, 40 POINTS OVER THE UTAH JAZZ.

>> Dennis: THAT'S A LOT.

>> Charlie: THAT IS A LOT.

IT'S A GOOD NIGHT FOR THEM.

>> Dennis: ALL RIGHT.

>> Charlie: HOPEFULLY THEY CAN KEEP DOING IT.

>> Dennis: THANKS CHARLIE.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY ORIGINALLY STARTED AS A SINGLE-PANEL COMIC STRIP IN THE 1940'S AND 1950'S, BUT HAS SINCE GROWN TO BE ONE OF THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE FRANCHISES IN HISTORY.

FOR THIS WEEK'S IN-FOCUS, OUR REPORTER, MATTHEW FREEMAN, WENT TO BEMIDJI HIGH SCHOOL'S FIRST DRESS REHEARSAL TO GIVE US A SNEAK PEEK INTO THEIR PRODUCTION OF THE ADDAMS FAMILY, A MUSICAL COMEDY.

[♪♪♪] >> Reporter: YOU CAN CALL THIS ONE OF BEMIDJI HIGH SCHOOL'S BIGGEST SHOWS AS 57-STUDENTS COME TOGETHER FOR THEIR RENDITION OF THE ADDAMS FAMILY, A MUSICAL COMEDY.

>> EVERY SHOW HAS ITS UNIQUE CHALLENGES.

THIS IS A TECHNICALLY COMPLEX ONE.

I AM THANKFUL, WE HAD THE LARGEST CREW WE EVER HAD THIS YEAR AND OUR STUDENT CREW IS AMAZING.

THEY DO A SPECTACULAR JOB WITH WHAT THEY'RE GIVEN.

>> Reporter: THEY HAVE MANY PROPS AND BACKDROPS THROUGHOUT THE SHOW, ALL WHICH MAKES THESE ACTORS' JOBS MUCH EASIER WHEN THEY'RE ON STAGE.

>> IT GIVES US A LOT MORE TO WORK OFF OF.

>> IT'S FUN AND IT MAKES AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE FOR THE AUDIENCE.

>> Reporter: THE ADDAMS FAMILY IS LIKE MORE THAN 90 YEARS OLD, BUT THEY ARE KNOWN AS POP ICONS.

TRAINING SUCH CHARACTERS CAN HAVE CHALLENGES.

>> PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THE CHARACTERS ARE SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE SO IT FEELS SCARY TRYING TO LIVE UP TO THAT STANDARD THAT PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE IN THEIR MINDS, BUT I THINK IT WILL BE FUN AS WELL.

>> THIS IS A BIG ROLE FOR ME.

I'M EXCITED.

IT'S KIND OF SPOOKY.

THIS IS A MORE COMEDIC ROLE.

THIS IS MORE FUNNY, I HAVE A CROSS BOW, I HAVE A WIG, THIS IS SO MUCH FUN, AND IT'S MY SENIOR YEAR AND I AM GOING OUT WITH A BANG AND I LOVE IT.

>> Reporter: DAWNING MOSTLY BLACK ATTIRE, TRAINING THE CHARACTERS BECAME EASIER.

>> WHEN I'M IN COSTUME AND I HAVE THE WIG ON AND EVERYTHING, I FEEL MORE INCHARACTER THAN I WOULD WITHOUT.

>> THIS WIG, IT HAS A POWER TO IT.

I'M DECKED OUT IN BLACK AND I'M READY TO BE ALL SCARY AND SPOOKY.

>> Reporter: THE ADDAMS FAMILY HAS ONE MORE SHOW THIS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH AT THE BEMIDJI HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM.

REPORTING FOR THIS WEEK'S IN FOCUS, I'M MATTHEW FREEMAN, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> Dennis: THE SHOW CONTAINS SOME ADULT HUMOR AND DEPICTION OF TOBACCO USE, SO ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 13 SHOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT.

>>> NOW WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE WEATHER.

>> Stacy: WE WILL BE SEEING PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES TONIGHT, A CHANCE FOR FLURRIES IN NORTH-CENTRAL MINNESOTA, LOWS DOWN TO 20.

PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY TOMORROW, WE COULD SEE SOME SCATTERED FLURRIES AND A FEW LATE SNOW SHOWERS WITH HIGHS NEAR 31.

MORE OF THE SAME ON SUNDAY, BUT WE WILL SEE A WARM UP BY MIDWEEK.

>> Dennis: THAT'S IT FOR US TONIGHT.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.
