WE ARE HERE FOR YOU WITH LOCAL NEWS FROM BEMIDJI, BRAINERD, AND ALL OF THE LAKES COUNTRY.

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

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

>>> CROW WING COUNTY DEPUTIES ARE INVESTIGATING WHAT THEY ARE CALLING THE SUSPICIOUS DEATHS OF A 53 YEAR OLD MALE AND A 59 YEAR OLD FEMALE AT A FAMILY VACATION HOME IN MISSION TOWNSHIP.

MISSION TOWNSHIP IS LOCATED ABOUT TEN MILES SOUTH OF CROSSLAKE.

THE INVESTIGATION STARTED AT 3:00 P.M.

THIS AFTERNOON.

ACCORDING TO A PRESS RELEASE FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE THIS IS AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION AND NO FURTHER INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

>>> A PARK RANGER DIED WHILE TRYING TO SAVE THREE PEOPLE DURING A WATER RESCUE AT A NATIONAL PARK IN MINNESOTA.

THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE SAYS THE RANGER, 55-YEAR-OLD KEVIN GROSSHEIM, RESPONDED SUNDAY TO A CALL FOR ASSISTANCE ON NAMAKAN LAKE IN VOYAGEURS NATIONAL PARK NEAR THE CANADIAN BORDER.

OFFICIALS SAY THEIR BOAT HAD BECOME DISABLED DURING HIGH WINDS AND ROUGH WATERS.

GROSSHEIM ARRIVED AND WAS TOWING THE DISTRESSED BOAT TO SAFETY WHEN THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE BOAT CAPSIZED, SENDING ALL FOUR PEOPLE INTO THE WATER.

THE THREE PEOPLE BEING RESCUED WERE ABLE TO SWIM TO SAFETY.

GROSSHEIM'S BODY WAS RECOVERED ABOUT THREE HOURS LATER.

>>> TWO PEOPLE WERE HOSPITALIZED EARLY THIS MORNING FOLLOWING A SHOOTING INCIDENT ON THE IRON RANGE.

THE ITASCA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAYS THE SHOOTING HAPPENED IN THE CITY OF CALUMET WHICH IS ABOUT 15 MILES NORTHEAST OF GRAND RAPIDS.

THREE SUSPECTS HAVE BEEN APPREHENDED AND ARE IN CUSTODY.

DEPUTIES ALSO RECOVERED A FIREARM BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN USED IN THE INCIDENT AND AUTHORITIES SAY THERE IS NO RISK TO THE PUBLIC AT THIS TIME.

ONE OF THE SHOOTING'S VICTIMS IS BEING TREATED AT A HOSPITAL IN GRAND RAPIDS WHILE THE OTHER HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO A MEDICAL FACILITY IN DULUTH.

NO NAMES HAVE BEEN RELEASED AND THE INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING.

>>> A PEQUOT LAKES MAN HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO 15 YEARS IN PRISON FOLLOWED BY 10 YEARS OF SUPERVISED RELEASE FOR PRODUCING IMAGES AND VIDEOS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE.

ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS, OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL YEARS, 41-YEAR-OLD JEFFREY BENJAMIN ADKINS REPEATEDLY ENGAGED IN SEXUAL ACTS WITH A MINOR VICTIM.

ON ONE OF THE OCCASIONS, ADKINS PRODUCED A FIVE-MINUTE VIDEO THAT DEPICTED THE SEXUAL ABUSE OF A MINOR.

ON MAY 28TH OF THIS YEAR ADKINS PLEADED GUILTY TO ONE COUNT OF PRODUCTION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.

HE WAS SENTENCED ON FRIDAY IN U.S. DISTRICT COURT.

>>> THE BAXTER CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSED WHERE TAX DOLLARS FROM THE LODGING TAX SHOULD GO TO PROMOTE BRAINERD AND BAXTER IN A WORK SESSION LAST TUESDAY.

THE LODGING TAX IS CHARGED TO PEOPLE WHO STAY IN HOTELS IN BRAINERD AND BAXTER.

THE MAJORITY OF THE HOTELS ARE IN BAXTER.

CURRENTLY, 95-PERCENT OF THE TAX DOLLARS GO TO VISIT BRAINERD TO PROMOTE THE AREA AS A DESTINATION TO BOOST TOURISM, AND THE REMAINING FIVE PERCENT GOES TO BAXTER FOR ADMINISTERING THE TAX.

CITY COUNCIL MEMBER JEFF PHILLIPS WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CITY HAVE MORE INFLUENCE ON HOW THOSE TAX DOLLARS ARE SPENT TO MARKET THE AREA.

>> I AM NOT TRYING TO RE-BRAND THE AREA INTO VISIT BAXTER.

I UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF MARKETING THE AREA, BUT THAT IS A LOT OF BAXTER TAX DOLLARS THAT COULD BE USED TO DIRECTLY BENEFIT THE CITY OF BAXTER AND I THINK MARKETING WITH SMALL BUSINESSES, HEY, THERE ARE A LOT OF OPTIONS OUT THERE.

THAT'S HOW I THINK IT SHOULD BE DONE.

>> BAXTER MAYOR DARRELL OLSON SAID THAT HE WAS NOT IN FAVOR OF HIRING ANOTHER CITY EMPLOYEE.

CITY STAFF WILL CONTINUE RESEARCHING THE MATTER BEFORE PRESENTING A POSSIBLE RESOLUTION TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

>>> ELECTION DAY IS LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY AND TONIGHT LAKELAND PBS RESUMED ITS LONG TRADITION OF PROVIDING YOU A LOOK AT YOUR STATE LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES FACING OFF IN HEAD-TO-HEAD IN DEBATES.

OUR FIRST DEBATE OF THE SEASON WAS IN HOUSE DISTRICT 2A WHERE DFL CANDIDATE REED OLSON MET UP WITH REPUBLICAN BIDAL DURAN.

ONE OF THE TOPICS DISCUSSED WAS TRIBAL LAND BACK BILLS.

>> I THINK WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT AUTOMATICALLY GIVING LAND BACK TO THE RESERVATIONS BECAUSE WE'RE LOSING A LOT OF ECONOMIC STUFF IN THAT AREA.

SO AS OF RIGHT NOW, I WOULD NOT SUPPORT GIVING THE LAND BACK TO THE RESERVATIONS.

THERE IS SO MUCH THAT IS COMING INTO THAT, THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND.

SOMEONE FROM THE CITY, A LEGISLATOR IN THE CITY INTRODUCED THE BILL UP HERE WITHOUT SPEAKING WITH ANY LOCAL OFFICIALS.

IF THERE WAS ANY LOCAL BUY IN, IF THERE WAS LOCAL OFFICIALS AND THE COMMUNITY WAS FOR IT, I THINK WE COULD HAVE A GOOD COMMUNICATION ABOUT THAT, BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, NONE OF THAT HAS HAPPENED.

>> THIS IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC LAND MANAGEMENT, YOU KNOW, JUST BEING CLEAR, THERE ARE A LOT OF RUMORS ON THE IT WAS GOING TO BE STATE LAND OR PRIVATE LAND.

THIS IS THE BILL SPECIFICALLY JUST FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC LAND.

I BELIEVE THAT PUBLIC LAND NEEDS TO STAY PUBLIC, SO REGARDLESS OF WHO IS MANAGING IT, WE WILL STILL HAVE PUBLIC ACCESS.

SO IF YOU HUNT AND FISH UP THERE, IF THERE WERE TO BE ANY KIND OF MANAGEMENT RETURN TO THE TRIBE, YOU WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO HUNT AND FISH THERE.

IF YOU HAVE AN EASEMENT ACROSS LAND, PUBLIC LANDS, YOU WILL HAVE THAT EASEMENT.

THERE IS A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE.

IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH A SINGLE BILL BEING DRAFTED.

THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO COMMITTEE.

I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF WORK TO DO, A LOT OF INTERESTED PARTIES TO TALK TO, BUT I THINK WE CAN FIND SOME AM AMICABLE AGREEMENT.

>> OUR SECOND TELEVISED DEBATE OF THE NIGHT WHICH JUST WRAPPED UP AN HOUR AGO O WAS THE HOUSE DISTRICT 2B CONTEST FEATURING REPUBLICAN MATT BLISS AND DEMOCRAT MICHAEL REYES THEY WEIGHED IN ON SEVERAL ISSUES INCLUDING CHILDCARE.

>> IN THAT RURAL AREA, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT NEED DAYCARE.

WHY NOT ALLOW THEM, MAYBE THROUGH A SCHOLARSHIP OR SOMETHING TO HELP PAY, BUT ALLOW THEM TO USE IT WHERE THEY WANT TO.

LET THEM SPEND IT AT A HOME DAYCARE.

IF THEY WANT THAT FAMILY ENVIRONMENT FOR THEIR CHILDREN, LET THEM SPEND IT THERE.

DON'T FORCE EVERYBODY INTO A GOVERNMENT-RUN DAYCARE OPERATION.

THAT'S NOT A GOOD WAY TO DO IT.

I WANT TO CAUTION PEOPLE, I KNOW MY OPPONENT HAS BROUGHT UP THE CANNABIS TAX.

LET'S WAIT AND SEE WHERE THAT MYTHICAL MONEY TREE COMES IN AT.

EVERY PERSON I SPOKEN TO IN THE CITIES AND STATES HAVE ALLOWED THIS, THAT THEY'RE SPENDING MORE ON ENFORCEMENT AND REHAB THAN THEY ARE TAKING IN ON TAXES.

SO LET'S SEE, LET'S WAIT AND SEE WHERE THAT MONEY COMES IN BEFORE WE START SPENDING IT AND I GUARANTEE YOU, IT'S NOT GOING TO COME TO A FRACTION OF WHAT OUR DFL COUNTERPARTS WANT TO SPEND.

>> SO YOU WILL PUSH FOR A BILL THAT WOULD GO TOWARDS CHILD CARE?

>> YES, I DO SUPPORT THAT IN OUR HOME CHILD CARE, BUT I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A SUBSIDY ALSO WITH THAT SUBSIDY IS PROVIDING SOME OF THESE CHILD CARE PROVIDERS, YOU KNOW, WITH THE FOOD THAT IS NOT COMING DIRECTLY OUT OF POCKET WITH ASSISTANCE.

YOU KNOW, THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX.

SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO RAISE TAXES, SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO DO THIS, SO THIS IS ANOTHER SOLUTION OUT THERE.

>> DEBATES CONTINUE ON LAKELAND PBS TOMORROW BEGINNING AT 7:00 P.M. WITH HOUSE DISTRICT 5A CANDIDATES KRISTA KNUDSEN AND BRIAN HOBSON.

>>> ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, SINCE 2015, 1.9 MILLION BABIES HAVE DIED DUE TO STILLBIRTHS AS WELL AS ANOTHER 2.3 MILLION NEWBORN DEATHS.

SANFORD HEALTH IN BEMIDJI HOPES TO HELP WITH GRIEVING FAMILIES IN THE AREA BY HOSTING THEIR ANNUAL WALK TO REMEMBER, AS A TIME TO REMEMBER CHILDREN TAKEN FROM THIS WORLD TOO SOON.

OUR REPORTER MATTHEW FREEMAN HAS MORE.

>> Reporter: AN SCORED -- SANFORD HEALTH'S PEDAL PROGRAM IS A PROGRAM TO REMEMBER ALL BABIES LOST DURING EARLY PREGNANT, STILLBIRTH, NEWBORN DEATHS, AND SIDS.

THERE IS THE ANNUAL WALK TO REMEMBER AS A WAY TO REFLECT, SHARE, AND REMEMBER CHILDREN TAKEN FROM THE WORLD TOO SOON.

>> WE WALK FOR THE STEPS THAT THEY WILL NEVER TAKE.

IT HELPS US RAISE MONEY FOR THE PROGRAM SO WE CAN PROVIDE MEMENTOS AND EDUCATION MATERIALS AND SUPPORT FOR THOSE FAMILIES WHILE THEY'RE HERE AT THE HOSPITAL AND FOLLOW UP PHONE CALLS WHEN THEY GO HOME.

>> IT'S A GREAT TIME TO GO GET A SUPPORT GROUP TOGETHER TO LET WOMEN AND FAMILIES KNOW THEY ARE STILL SUPPORTED NO MATTER HOW LONG AGO THEIR LOSS WAS.

IT'S IMPORTANT FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO RALLY AND SUPPORT FAMILIES DURING A TIME OF GRIEF AND LOSS.

>> Reporter: THEY PROVIDE MEMENTOS AND SUPPORT TO FAMILIES EXPERIENCING LOSS.

>> IT'S AMAZING THEY WANT TO BE HERE AND IT'S AMAZING THE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO DONATE.

IF THERE WEREN'T PEOPLE THAT WANTED TO DONATE, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO THE THINGS WE DO WITH THIS PROGRAM.

>> I THINK IT'S JUST SUPPORT FROM THE SANFORD ASPECT, BUT, AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY, FOR PATIENTS THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH A DIFFICULT TIME TO BE HERE A SUPPORT THEM, NOT ONLY THROUGH THE MOMENT BUT AS TIME GOES ON TOO.

>> Reporter: MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY NEWBORN DEATHS AND ARE LUCKY TO HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE COME OUT TO SUPPORT.

>> I PARTICIPATE EVERY YEAR.

I HAD THREE LOSSES OF MY OWN IN EARLY PREGNANCY, SO MY SISTER-IN-LAW AND BROTHER HAD A LOSS AROUND 17 TO 18 WEEKS.

IT'S NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART.

IF I HAD ONE WISH IN THE WORLD, THAT WISH WOULD BE THAT NO FAMILY, NO PARENT WOULD HAVE TO BURY THEIR CHILD.

THERE WOULD BE NO REASON FOR US TO EVER, EVER HAVE THIS WALK.

THERE WOULD BE NO REASON FOR THE PEDAL PROGRAM AND EVERYWHERE WOULD BE -- EVERYONE WOULD BE HERE WITH A BABY IN THEIR ARMS.

>> Reporter: REPORTING FROM BEMIDJI, MATTHEW FREEMAN, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> A SILENT AUCTION WAS HELD AT THE END OF THE WALK AT THE SANFORD MEDICAL CENTER, WITH ALL THE PROCEEDS BENEFITTING THE PETAL PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES SUPPORT TO EVERY PATIENT WHO EXPERIENCES THE LOSS OF A BABY OR INFANT WITHIN THE SANFORD HEALTH OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA REGION.

>>> THE BREEZY POINT AREA WOMEN'S CLUB DISCUSSED COMMON STROKE AND HEART ATTACK SIGNS DURING LAST WEEK'S MEETING.

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE KILLS MORE WOMEN THAN ALL FORMS OF CANCER COMBINED, YET ONLY 44 PERCENT OF WOMEN RECOGNIZE THAT CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IS THEIR GREATEST HEALTH THREAT.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, 51.9 PERCENT OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE DEATHS, ALSO KNOWN AS HYPERTENSION OR THE SILENT KILLER, ARE IN WOMEN WITH 57.6 PERCENT OF BLACK WOMEN HAVING HYPERTENSION.

ALL THE MORE REASON CUYUNA REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER WORKER AMY HOWARD SHARED HER INSIGHT.

MORE RISK FACTORS, STRESS, ANXIETY, KEEPING ALL THE THINGS TOGETHER, KEEPING THE FAMILIES TOGETHER, KEEPING THE KIDS WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.

IF YOU NOTICE ANY OF THESE SIGNS, CALL 9-1-1.

>>> SINCE 1999, THE AGELESS EXPO IN THE BRAINERD LAKES HAS BEEN A BIG EVENT FOR SENIORS IN THE COMMUNITY.

THIS YEAR'S EXPO WAS HELD AT FORESTVIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL IN BAXTER AND WAS WELL-ATTENDED.

FOR THE LAST 21 YEARS, THE EXPO HAS BEEN COORDINATED BY THE CENTER, A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION IN BRAINERD THAT FOCUSES ON UPLIFTING SENIORS IN THE COMMUNITY.

THE EXPO HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL FOR OVER TWO DECADES BECAUSE OF THE INFORMATION IT PROVIDES FOR SENIORS.

>> AND NOW THE WEATHER WITH STACY CHRISTENSON.

[♪♪♪] >> Stacy: WELL, AFTER SOME WINDY CONDITIONS THIS WEEKEND, IT WAS MUCH CALMER TODAY.

WE ENJOYED SOME NICE SUNSHINE AND SOME NICE TEMPERATURES, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A COOL NIGHT IN STORE FOR US TONIGHT.

TEMPERATURES WILL FALL TO THE LOW TO MID-30s AND THAT COULD RESULT IN SOME AREAS OF FROST.

SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE FROST ADVISORY IN THE AREA IN JUST A SECOND.

HERE ARE THE CURRENT CONDITIONS.

IN BEMIDJI, IT'S 40 AT THE AIRPORT.

AT THE STUDIO, THE WINDS ARE CALM, DEW POINT IS 30, AND HUMIDITY IS AT 68%.

IN BRAINERD, IT'S 47 DEGREES, 41 IS OUR DEW POINT, PRESSURE IS RISING AND WINDS ARE CALM.

THE FROST ADVISORY IS OUT FOR NORTHERN AND EASTERN MINNESOTA FROM 1:00 A.M. UNTIL 8:00 A.M. ON TUESDAY.

AGAIN, THOSE TEMPERATURES ARE FALLING INTO THE 30 TO 35 DEGREE RANGE AND THAT COULD RESULT IN FROST FORMATION WITHIN THAT AREA.

ON THE RADAR, IT IS ALL QUIET.

CALM WINDS, PRETTY CLEAR SKIES, SO AGAIN THAT WILL ALLOW THOSE TEMPERATURES TO FALL INTO THE 30s OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND SOME OF THE FROST IS LINGERING INTO TOMORROW MORNING, BUT AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY, WE SHOULD HAVE A NICE RECOVERY AND A LOT OF SUNSHINE TOMORROW AS WELL.

WE WILL SEE A WARMING TREND AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEK, PROBABLY SEEING WARM TEMPERATURES BY THE TIME WE HIT THURSDAY.

SOME WEATHER SHOTS TO SHARE WITH YOU.

LAWYER ARE AT LITTLE TURTLE LAKE, LUCKY TO SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS IN THE AREA TODAY.

WE DID START OUT WITH A LOW THIS MORNING OF 35 AND SUNSET TONIGHT AT 6:44.

BEMIDJI REACHING A HIGH OF 66, SO WE ARE VERY MILD, 10 DEGREES ABOVE THE AVERAGE.

38 FOR THE LOW TEMPERATURE, THAT'S OUR AVERAGE LOW FOR THE DAY AND SUNSET AT 6:46.

HERE'S A LOOK AT OUR FORECAST FOR TOMORROW, SOME FROST LINGERING IN THE MORNING BUT OTHERWISE THAN THAT, IT LOOKS LIKE A SUNNY DAY, MILD TEMPERATURES, 61 IN WARROAD, UPPER 50s IN NORTHEAST MINNESOTA, BUT A LOT OF 60s AND EVEN LOW 70s IN THE REST OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA WITH PLENTY OF TEMPERATURES REACHING THE UPPER 60s TO LOW 70s IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA, PLENTY OF SUNSHINE, NOT MUCH WIND TOMORROW EITHER AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE WARMER TEMPERATURES THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

LOWS WILL BE DROPPING TO 34 AND TOMORROW, SUNNY SKIES, AREAS OF FROST IN THE MORNING IN NORTHERN AND EASTERN MINNESOTA, AND HIGHS NEAR 67.

TAKING A LOOK AT THE REST OF THE WEEK, NOT A LOT HAPPENING AS FAR AS WEATHER CONDITIONS.

A LOT OF SUNSHINE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE WEEK.

WE WILL SEE MILDER TEMPERATURES THROUGH ABOUT THURSDAY WHEN TEMPS COULD BE IN THE UPPER 70s TO LOW TO MID-80s.

SO VERY WARM OUT THERE ON THURSDAY.

THEN THE QUIET WEATHER CONTINUES AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

TEMPERATURES ARE A LITTLE MORE SEASONAL, HIGHS ON SUNDAY NEAR 54.

THE DESIGN OF THE SPACE WAS TO MAKE IT AS NON-CLINICAL AND COZY AS POSSIBLE TO HELP CLIENTS FEEL COMFORTABLE.

>> I REALLY DISLIKE GOING TO THERAPY OR SERVICES THAT FEEL REALLY CLINICAL AND STUFFY.

IF I WANT TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL, I WILL GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

I WANT A LOT OF COLOR AND VIBRANCY AND SOMETHING WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO IN, THE LIGHTS ARE DIM, IT'S QUIET, BUT YOU CAN FEEL WHATEVER YOU NEED TO FEEL.
